Compared to the last reported auction two weeks ago, steers and heifers traded sharply higher, gaining back all of the last sales losses and then some. Slaughter cows 9.00 to 15.00 lower. Mostly weaned calves on offer this week with the majority coming to town with a full health history which proved beneficial as buyers were pretty particular about two full rounds of shots in light of the 10 day forecast. What buyers did shrug off was another day of sharp losses in the cattle complex at the CME, pushing prices back to levels seen before volatility became the new norm. Supply moderate, demand good.
