Demand was good especially for preconditioned calves. In the direct feeder cattle trade there were not enough comparable sales from last week for a good market test. Direct trade was slow. Demand was moderate. Buyer and seller inquiry were moderate. Yearling supplies were limited. Calves remain in strong hands. Unless otherwise noted direct prices are current FOB with a 2 to 3% shrink or equivalent and with a 5 to 10 cent slide on calves and 3 to 6 cents slide on yearlings from base weight.
