*CLOSE*

Compared to last week, steers and heifers traded mostly 2.00 to 5.00 higher, spots 6.00 to 8.00 higher. The local cash trade was able to recover some of last week's sharp losses without any support from cattle futures as the board was unable to hold on to any gains on Monday. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
