Demand was moderate to good with supply light to moderate. The steer calves weighing 400-600 lbs traded somewhat lower but market remains very good on these grass calves as it was getting a little top heavy. Overall despite some head winds in the commodity markets with the front three months of corn closing 33-38 cents higher and soybeans 43-54 cents higher on Monday feeder cattle weighing 400-600 lbs continue to sell on a very active market. Markets continue to remain volatile as Ukraine struggles with Russia has much uncertainty in the market place. Slaughter cows sold steady.
