Compared to last week, steers and heifers traded steady to 5.00 higher with 550-600 lb heifers seeing the most gain and selling up to 7.00 higher. Demand was good for several groups of home-raised grass cattle despite futures taking a downward trend the end of last week because of the recent trade concerns. The supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher.
