As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves steady, yearlings steady, except steers over 800 lbs had few comparisons, undertone higher. No recent test of Holsteins for a price comparison. Demand moderate to good, supply moderate. Live Cattle and Feeder Cattle futures closed with positive gains and Slaughter steers and heifers trading several dollars higher than a week ago.
