As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers were steady to 6.00 higher with feeder heifers not well tested. Steer calves were steady while heifer calves were steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Peewee calves were a little softer this week as seasonal weather changes have buyers paying closer attention to weaning and vaccination programs. August turned out to be the driest August on record for much of the area. Several producers have already started feeding hay and are becoming concerned about water levels in ponds and streams. A couple of counties in Northern Arkansas have been classified as Severe Drought with many more expected to join them Thursday when the latest data is released.
