Compared to the last tested market two weeks ago, steers sold mostly 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Heifers were more uneven, with light calves under 600 lbs trading 1.00 to 2.00 higher, heavier weights steady to 4.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Cattle futures had mounted a rally for most of the week but that came to a swift end on Thursday with nearly all months closing with triple digit losses. Supply and demand moderate.
