Compared to a week ago, steer calves traded steady to 4.00 lower while heifer calves traded steady. Yearling steers traded steady in a light test of the market with yearling heifers not well tested. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. Several larger packages of long time weaned and vaccinated calves traded at mid-day near prices seen at the special sale on Friday. As the sale progressed into the evening, smaller drafts of less conditioned calves brought down the averages. Feeder Cattle and Live Cattle Futures traded sharply lower, even with Corn Futures trading lower, curbing enthusiasm in the cash market.
