Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers 15.00-25.00 lower. Few slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Supply light. Uncertainty would sum up sale barn conversations at the moment as the extreme market volatility continues. Monstrous packer margins are once again a hot topic with beef cutout values soaring after retail shoppers cleared the shelves this past weekend. As noted market activity was good although no one really knows what anything is worth at the moment.
