This week the market had a light to moderate supply with a moderate to good demand. Steers were up an average of 4.00-5.00 dollars that were in good flesh. Heifers sold generally steady. Slaughter boner cows sold with good demand being generally steady to 2.00 lower, other slaughter cows and bulls didn't have enough supply to create an accurate trend.
