Compared to last week, a lighter run of steers and heifers sold mostly steady to spots 5.00 lower than the highs reached last week. Demand was moderate to good and although supply was light to moderate, some consignments of high quality cattle were on hand. Flesh conditions were mostly on the moderate to fleshier side with more of the offering being calves. Cattle futures took a dive on Wednesday but buyers didn't pay much attention with good fundamentals still in place. Slaughter cows sold uneven as lean and boning cows sold steady and fat breaking cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher.
