*CLOSE*

Compared to last week, three and four weight peewee steers traded 2.00-4.00 higher while heavier weights were steady to 4.00 lower. Heifer calves were steady to 4.00 lower except for six weights which traded 2.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a very light supply. Colder temperatures and heavy rains across the area along with depressed prices kept receipts light, especially for October. Cattle futures continued their upward trend in spite of the bullish Cattle on Feed Report released last week which placed Inventories 4 percent higher and Placements and Marketings 6 percent higher than the previous month.
