Compared to last week: best test on steers 900-999 lbs 16.00-20.00 higher. Best 
test on heifers 900 to 949 lbs 7.00 higher on a narrow comparison. Demand good 
today especially so on cattle coming right off grass. Flesh conditions mostly 
on the lighter side. Sale mostly consisted of large, uniform loads. Quality 
attractive with a few packages of average cattle thrown in. Very active bidding 
on the bigger loads offered where options to buy were offered. Cattle rally 
continued today on the CME cattle futures contracts with most contract months 
scoring new highs. Demand remains exceptionally high for feeders with all this 
support in the cattle complex.
