Compared to last week: Steer calves 8.00 to 12.00 lower, except over 600 lbs to 20.00 lower. Heifer calves 5.00 to 10.00 lower, instances to 15.00 lower. Demand was lighter this week as the cattle futures complex was under extreme pressure throughout the week. A large offering of high quality strings of attractive, light fleshed steer and heifer calves coming right off the cow. Most were fully preconditioned, those without a fall booster shot were much harder to sell. Cattle feeders were pushed into a defensive mentality after the futures contracts went into freefall and are left wondering where it's going to end at. The market was still pretty active in spite of it all. Another large offering expected at the auction next week.
