   Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold with a steady to weak
undertone. The CME for Live and Feeder Cattle has been up and down trying to
figure out where it needs to be and a lower cash trade for fed cattle has buyers
purchasing cattle more cautiously. Most of the offering came to town right off
the cow. Supply was light to moderate, demand was moderate. The feeder offering
included near 68 percent steers and bulls, and 32 percent heifers, with 39
percent over 600 lbs. Cows and bulls totaled 18 percent of the offering. Several
fields of corn were replanted this week. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00
lower, except lean cows up to 2.00 higher.
