Compared to last week, a much lighter offering this week with a light test of steer calves selling steady to firm and feeder heifers under 550 lbs trading with a firm to higher undertone on a light offering. Slaughter cows on a light offering picked up right where they left off last week and traded fully steady to firm on and active market. Demand was good on a light offering as receipts were curbed this week due to high temperatures over the weekend, with rain showers also over the weekend through the trade area brought some much needed relief from the high temperatures.
