Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 3.00 to 5.00 higher on limited comparable sales due to last weeks light test on yearling cattle. Cattle futures have rallied once again closing sharply higher. Not enough comparable sales on calves for a market trend. Trading activity was moderate on good buyer demand. Quality ranged from average to attractive. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady to firm.
