As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves 10.00-1500 higher with instances of up to 20.00 higher. Heifer calves 5.00-10.00 higher with instances of up to 15.00 higher. Demand very good. Quality average. Front-end bulls traded at prices comparable to last week's steer prices, reflecting continued strength in the market. CME cattle futures are sharply higher today, supported by firm cash trade and tightening supplies. Slaughter cows and bulls fully steady in a light test. Packers struggled to buy slaughter type cattle today, the majority of cattle were either grass-bound or bred-type stock.
