Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were steady to 4.00 lower. There were too few calves under 700 lbs to establish a market however undertones were lower. Demand was moderate on a light supply. The largest draft of the day was 66 head of 786 lb. colored-up steers which sold for 331.50/cwt. Heat has returned to the Ozarks with near or above triple digit temperatures predicted for the rest of the week. Heat and market instability are keeping cattle at home, except for those that are on dried up pastures.
