Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers traded mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower with the sharpest decline on steer calves, Light steer calves under 500 lbs in particular sold with a sharply lower undertone, while heifers over 600 lbs were perhaps the hottest ticket of the day, selling steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate in spots but mostly good, just at lower price levels as the market tries to find some balance in the midst of the Chinese coronavirus story. Supply moderate.
