As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers traded steady to 7.00 lower on limited comparable sales with most of the loss on steers over 500 lbs. Mostly smaller groups of new crops calves were offered in moderate to moderate plus flesh. Demand was moderate to good in spots, but light to moderate for un-weaned calves. The supply was light to moderate on a rainy, stormy Tuesday. Cattle futures have seen significant losses since a week ago. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.
