Compared to the last tested market two weeks ago, steers and heifers traded in a somewhat sporadic manner, with steers mostly steady but a few spots as much as 8.00 higher on some 600-700 lb steers. Heifers under 600 lbs traded unevenly steady, mostly 3.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Some load lot consignments of 600 and 700 lb heifers traded an impressive 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Up and down quality for a lot of the day and many of the cattle on offer were carrying some mud but buyers were eager to put some stock together. The backgrounded heifers were certainly the highlight of the day, all from reputation producers, all very attractive quality and in good condtion, easily clearing the 2.00/lb mark. Supply moderate, demand good to very good.
