Compared to last Tuesday, steers and heifers mostly steady except a few steers near 650 lbs 5.00 higher and some heifers near 500 lbs 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 4.00-6.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Supply light. There were some small to medium sized consignments of good quality light calves which is even a bigger help this time of year. It's's good calf killin' weather this week with warm days, cool nights and dust in many areas. Feeder cattle contracts saw very nice gains on Tuesday.
