Compared to last week, a light test of 500-550 lb steer calves sold with a sharply lower undertone with overall quality not as attractive as last week, with 600-750 lb steers trading 10.00-13.00 lower and a light test of 800-825 lb steers selling steady. Feeder heifers weighing 500-550 lbs on a light test sold steady, with 550-700 lbs selling 7.00-10.00 lower. Slaughter cows on a light offering sold with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was light to moderate on a light supply. Demand was best on 600-750 lb steers. Last week's auction was a very active market , but a lot has happened in the last week with Stock Market and CME cattle futures all in a free-fall mode gaining back some ground on Tuesday.
