Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 2.00 to 5.00 higher, instances of up to 7.00 higher. Steer calves traded mostly 1.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifer calves were unevenly steady. Slaughter cows and bulls were 7.00 to 10.00 higher. Trading activity was active on very good buyer demand. According to the Cattle Market Report and Analysis, beef exports last week were 15% over last year and beef in cold storage was 6% under last year. Holiday demand will be increasing in the coming weeks and the ability of the beef plants to respond will be key to satisfying the robust demand for beef.
