Compared to last week:  Steer and heifer calves 15.00 to 30.00 lower.  Good 
demand for steer and heifer calves, yet there continues to be a lot of pressure 
on the market coming from the volatility in the futures complex.  It seemed the 
futures contracts had found some stable ground at midweek, but triple digit 
losses returned by Friday.  There is plenty of interest in buying these good 
light calves, while they are available, yet cattle feeders are very uncertain 
as to what a realistic breakeven price could be.

DTN Ag Host Midday Livestock

The livestock complex is trading mostly lower into midday Wednesday, with not enough fundamental support being noted in the hog complex, and too much fear and anxiety being in the cattle sector. Some light cash cattle trade has developed, but with the boards' downturn, prices could soften.
