Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on steers or heifers for an adequate market trend, but a mostly firm undertone was noted. Firmness in the market was supported by the CME Feeder and Live Cattle contracts which closed up the limit on Tuesday. Quality was attractive with several large loads of cattle straight off the wheat on offer. Trading activity and demand were good.
