Compared to last week: All classes lightly tested. Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers mostly steady. Demand good for feeder cattle. Steer and heifer calves not well tested. Many un-weaned calves included. Demand moderate for calves. High heat and extremely dry conditions is limiting demand for calves, especially un-weaned calves. Numbers continue very limited. Yes it is hot, but it is summer and it is August. Numbers of feeder cattle and calves are tight as good markets had producers pulling cattle early and this practice has caught up with us. Most cattle auctions selling maybe half of what they did a year ago. Quality plain to average, few attractive.
