As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from two weeks ago, light weight steer and heifer calves steady to 5.00 higher, with steers and heifers over 450 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower. High grain prices and a consistently weak and disappointing slaughter cattle market are really pressuring the feeder cattle prices. Demand light to moderate and supply moderate.
