As filed

Compared to last week, calves and yearling heifers sold mostly steady while several loads of yearling steers weighing 700-900 lbs traded 4.00-8.00 higher. The majority of the calf run was un-weaned but the better quality calves still sold with moderate to good demand despite rain forecast for the next couple days. The yearlings sold with very good demand as several buyers were actively pursuing them. Positive market fundamentals, most notably lower numbers of cattle and good beef demand have buyers optimistic about where the market is headed, which resulted in some impressive prices paid for the heavier feedlot bound steers. Supply was moderate. Cattle futures have been in the green to start the week following Friday's bullish Cattle On Feed report. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 lower.
