Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 500-550 lbs and yearling feeder steers over 700 lbs on comparable weights and quality all traded steady to firm, all other weights of steers were lightly tested. Heifer calves and feeder heifers over 600 lbs on a light test selling steady. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate supply. Feeder Cattle futures ended the week with sharp gains of 5.82 to 7.95 on the front months with corn down 20 to 21 cents. Slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 lower on mostly average to low dressing cows.
