Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves traded mostly 10.00 to 15.00 lower, with some larger discounts noted on unweaned or short weaned calves tagged fleshy. Not enough comparable sales on yearlings for a market trend but a few loads of good feeding type yearlings were on offer today. Quality was mixed, with the majority of the supply consisting of plainer unweaned or short weaned calves. Trading activity was moderate on light to moderate buyer demand, especially on unweaned calves as higher than average temperatures continue. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Supply included: 74% Feeder Cattle ( 58% Steers, 39% Heifers, 3% Bulls); 14% Slaughter Cattle ( 92% Cows, 8% Bulls); 12% Replacement Cattle ( 11% Stock Cows, 89% Bred Cows). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 26%.USDA market reporter, Wildorado, TX
