Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on steers or heifers due to last weeks light test, but a higher undertone was noted. Quality was mixed, but buyer demand remains strong amid short cattle supplies. Some heavier-fleshed cattle and unweaned calves are beginning to come off the tall grass. With overall cattle numbers remaining tight, the discount for unweaned calves seems to be smaller than in previous years so far. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 5.00 higher.
