Compared to last week, not enough steers or heifers less than 700 lbs for a market comparison. Steers from 700 to 900 lbs sold 20.00 lower over 900 lbs steady to 1.00 higher. Heifers from 700 to 800 lbs sold 20.00 lower with weights over 800 lbs trending steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was moderate for light weight cattle with good demand noted on yearling feeders. CME cattle boards sold lower to sharply lower most of the week. Rain, wind, hail and a lot of corn and tree damage in the central areas of the state at weeks close. Several miles of corn, beans and alfalfa stripped and blown over from the severe storms that continued to the eastern side of the state. Feedlots had to fight tooth and nail to hold a decent market as the Aug CME live cattle board fell sharply through the week. Live sales sold 5.00 to 7.00 lower from 228.00 to 230.00 and dressed sales sold 5.00 to 8.00 lower from 362.00 to 365.00.
