Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers under 700 lbs and all weights of heifers sold 7.00 to 10.00 higher with several spots sharply higher. Steers over 700 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher with some high dressing cows up to 4.00 higher. Quality was indeed better than the sale three weeks ago which contributed to the higher market but overall demand and buyer activity was also greatly improved. Feeder cattle contracts suffered sharp losses at the CME Wednesday but that had virtually no impact on the local trade. Supply moderate, demand good to very good.
