Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded 2.00-4.00 higher while yearlings traded steady to firm. Demand was good on a heavy supply. Cooler temperatures and lower humidity have made it more comfortable for both man and beast to make the trip to town. Pasture conditions have improved as most of the area has gotten moisture from the scattered showers.
