Compared to last week: Steer calves
steady to 2.00 lower, decline over 500 lbs.
Heifer calves 1.00-2.00 lower. Feeder
cattle steady in a light test. Supply con
tinues mostly calves and very few year

to wean calves early. Quality plain to aver
age, few attractive. Rains of 2-6 inches fell
over the weekend with heaviest tains and
flooding along 1-40 and northward.
Slaughter cows t.OO-2.00 higher. Slaugh
ter bulls 2.00 higher. Packer demand good
for light receipts. Demand remains good
for thin cows destined to feedlols or return
ing to country. Total of 485 cows and bulls
sold with 45 percent going to packets.
Receipts this week 8,900; last week
14,860; last year 14,516. Supply consisted
