Compared to the most accurate test two weeks ago, as last week receipts were light, steers and heifers sold 4.00-10.00 higher. Demand was good and buyers were active for a moderate supply. Optimism has been building in the cattle market over the last several weeks with an attractive outlook for fed cattle this winter and next spring, encouraging the higher prices. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-2.00 lower compared to last week.
