As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves sold with higher undertones compared to last week's limited test. Yearling steers 5.00 to 10.00 lower, heifers 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Very good demand for steer and heifer calves as there were plenty of farmer feeders on the seats ready to buy these light calves. The calf market was very active. Demand for yearlings moderate to good, there were many long strings of steers and heifers, offered in full load lots and multiple load lots but flesh condition ran a little heavier and buyers are watching their breakeven prices very closely as the winter months of the CME Live Cattle contracts are lower than the current cash fat cattle market.
