Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 lower. A good variety of stock on hand this week, from weaned calves to a couple loads and part loads of yearlings, with a fair percentage of the offering carrying some flesh or fill. Cattle futures took a hard dive amidst rumors of packing plant slowdowns, but Thursday's slaughter numbers remained on track and didn't show any disruption. Supply and demand moderate.
