Compared to last week's active market, on a lighter test, steer calves sold 15.00-25.00 lower and heifers sold mostly 5.00 lower. Since last week, cattle futures have plunged lower following a very bearish Cattle On Feed report. Despite the total numbers of cattle being lower, packers had backed off on the kills the last several months and drought in areas forced more cattle into the feedyard, causing a recalibration to the value of calves and feeder cattle. Demand was moderate to good for a light to moderate supply. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-6.00 lower.
