Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers 2.00-5.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply moderate. Cattle futures lost ground Wednesday but have been trending higher lately due partly to recent strength seen in the fed cattle trade. The potential for rain in the forecast would be welcome in this area as soil moisture has deteriorated rapidly over the past few weeks.
