View USDA PDF VersionCompared to the last feeder sale two weeks ago, a light offering of steer calves and yearlings were lightly tested but on a comparable sales traded mostly 30.00-40.00 lower with feeder heifers selling mostly 20.00-30.00 lower with the exception of a pot load of thin/green heifers weighing 618 lbs the stick out sale of the day at 385.50. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate supply. Feeder Cattle futures continue to liquidate on Tuesday with Nov down 5.05, Jan down 9.55 and March feeders down 11.65 as uncertainty in the cattle markets continue with any headline news looming in the back ground. Slaughter cows on a light offering sold mostly steady.
