Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 400-650 lbs and heifer calves weighing 450-600 lbs sold mostly steady on comparable weights and quality with a pot load of 685 lb heifers trading 5.00-8.00 lower than two weeks ago, yearling heifers over 700 lbs sold with a lower undertone with few comparisons. Demand was moderate to good on calves and light to moderate on yearlings. It was another hard down day on the CME Cattle Futures as they continued to selloff with sharp losses as Live Cattle contracts closed down 2.55 to 4.00 on the front three months and Feeder Cattle contracts closed down hard from 4.95 to 5.85 on the front three months. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-6.00 lower on the heavy weight-breaking cows with boning and lean cows selling steady to 2.00 lower.
