Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steer calves sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher and load lots of yearling steers steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers steady to weak. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Sharp losses for CME Feeder Cattle contracts on Tuesday did little to deter the buyer activity ringside. Several unweaned calves in the mix but few bore any noticeable discounts. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
