Compared to last week:  Steer and heifer calves 15.00 to 30.00 higher.  Very 
good demand for steer and heifer calves this week as the early part of the week 
the futures contracts were supportive of the cash, market, that changed by 
Thursday as limit losses occurred in the Feeder Cattle contracts.  Cattle 
producers have had a very difficult time making decisions concerning the market 
as the futures contracts are fluctuating wildly.  The sound market fundamentals 
that propelled the market to record high prices, is now being overshadowed by 
uncertainty and fear as the futures contracts decline rapidly.  Cash fat cattle 
were lower again as packers point to a lower futures market and bid 
accordingly.  Cash fat cattle sales in Iowa by Friday were all the way down to 
218.00, which is par with the Dec Live Cattle contract.
