*MID-SESSION/CLOSE*

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves steady on a limited test, yearling steers 1.00 to 2.00 higher, yearling heifers steady. Demand moderate to good, supply light. Feeder Cattle futures have regained some of their losses after last week's sell-off. A heat advisory is in effect for some of the trade area and the high humidity, high temperatures will continue for the next couple of days.
