Compared to last week's light test, steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00-10.00 higher but with spots 15.00-20.00 higher. It's all go, all higher for the cattle market with gains by leaps and bounds in nearly every aspect the last few weeks as fed cattle make new all time highs and push feeder cattle and calves higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply that featured a few loads of yearling heifers along with several quality consignments of calves. Slaughter cows and sold 2.00-4.00 higher, bulls steady.
