Compared to last week: Not enough Choice slaughter steers last week for comparison. Too limited a test for Choice slaughter heifers this week. The sale consisted of mostly smaller strings today. Light crowd in the stands but demand was still good. CME live cattle futures back in the positive today, after declining for several weeks.
