Compared to last week:  Steer calves 10.00 to 20.00 lower, heifer calves under 
500 lbs 10.00 to 20.00 lower, over 500 lbs 25.00 to 35.00 lower.  Yearling 
feeder steers 10.00 to 25.00 lower, yearling heifers 15.00 to 25.00 lower.  
Demand was more moderate for calves this week as the cattle futures complex 
turned over and the cash fed cattle market followed.  A rainy week put further 
pressure on the calf market as feed yard pens are very muddy and sloppy making 
it tough on incoming calves that are right off the cows.  Cattle feeders were 
blindsided by the collapse in the futures contracts, as the outlook was 
improving, causing them to back off considerably in the pursuit of feeder 
cattle.  Packers pulled their bids back to unexpected levels, most notably on 
heavy cattle weighing 1700 lbs.
