As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 650 lbs sold 20.00 to 30.00 higher, while those over 650 lbs sold 10.00 higher. Heifers sold 15.00 to 30.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good as buyers were active today for weaned and unweaned calves. In the last week, the CME Cattle Complex has been a roller coaster and is trying to find some footing to bring stabilization to the market, however auction trading seems to be shaking off the uncertainty at this week's markets so far. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower.
