As filed

Compared to last week: Best comparable test was on steers 1000-1049 lbs bringing 8.00 higher. Lighter test on heifers with few comparable trends but a higher undertone noticed. Demand good to very good for cattle to be finished. Flesh was on the lighter side and quality mostly attractive. Bidding was active throughout with more than a few home-raised strings on offer. CME Live and Feeder Cattle contracts posted higher today adding to the firmness in the market.
