Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 4.00 to 8.00 lower, with the exception of a load of 650 lb heifers trading fully steady. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Futures markets and weather worked against both calf and yearling trade this week as cattle contracts continue their downward march and the wild temperature swings expected the next couple days will pose a major health risk to bawling calves. Supply moderate, demand light to moderate.
