Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were steady to 2.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves sold 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was good on a light to moderate supply. The supply consisted of mostly small drafts with an abundance of short-weaned calves and bull calves in the offering. Pasture conditions continue to improve and are better than average, for the middle of August, however low hay supplies continue to be a concern.
