As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Trade activity was active on very good buyer demand. Quality was once again very attractive, with the majority of the supply consisting of large load lots of cattle straight off the wheat and grass. The majority of the area is in need of a good rain, as temperatures have consistently been in the 90's accompanied by little to no precipitation.
