Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were uneven from 4.00 lower to 4.00 higher with most weights not well tested. Demand was good on a light supply. Today's receipts were heavily influenced by the weather. Much of the area was under a flood warning with some places receiving over 12 inches of rain since Thursday. Several schools and roads were closed due to flooding with muddy conditions making it difficult to load and transport livestock.
