Compared to last week, steers and heifers traded mostly 3.00-7.00 higher. Some 650-700 lb yearling heifers sold with a sharply higher undertone to few recent comparable sales. Demand was good for an excellent quality offering of calves and yearlings. Supply was moderate. The improved trade situation with Mexico seems to have provided a bounce to the calf market this week. Slaughter cows sold steady.
