Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 5.00-15.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves 10.00-20.00 lower. Demand moderate for feeder cattle. Demand light to moderate for calves as summer's heat seems relentless. The heat dome moved more to the south letting in some cooler temps and much needed rains from the Oklahoma Panhandle and eastward over North Central Oklahoma. Cattle futures ended the day mixed. Receipts continue to run 50-60 percent of a year ago. Quality plain to average.
