Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Pretty good quality and condition this week with some of the cattle on offer carrying some dirt courtesy of extremely muddy lots and pens throughout the trade area. Six weight grazing steers were the hottest ticket even though spring has been slow to start. A little green action in cattle futures for the first time this week didn't bother anyone although lackluster fat trade continues to be concerning. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
