Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers near 600 lbs 1.00-3.00 lower, other weights steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs 2.00-5.00 higher, over 500 lbs steady to 4.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply heavy. Lots of nice cattle again this week with the majority weighing 450-650 lbs. With the slaughter pace inching closer to normal and beef cutout values dropping the focus may soon be turning to the surplus of market ready cattle that history says will have to be whittled away at by getting to a price low enough to stimulate surplus demand.
