Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded 4.00-8.00 lower with spots 12.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. The Feeder and Live Cattle Futures gained some ground today but not as much as the previous week's losses. Input cost continue to be a big concern for buyers which resulted in lower cash prices this week.
