Compared to last week, steers traded steady except for a few packages of light fleshed calves under 450 lbs selling with a higher undertone. Heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher with the advance on the 500-650 lb weight range. Trade was active and demand was good to very good. Buyers have their eyes on the spring fat cattle board hovering around $1.40/cwt, a price level not seen in several years. Supply was light but the quality was good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady except for some fleshier high dressing cows selling up to 3.00 higher.
