No comparison to last week, however both quality and numbers sharply increased with better weather conditions. There was strong demand for good quality feeder steers and heifers, with buyers willing to pay a premium for weaned cattle. Slaughter cows were stronger with lots of demand and several buyers in the market. Slaughter bulls were also up with a good supply offered.
