As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers sold mostly steady to firm on limited comparable sales. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 3.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate to active on good demand. There was a big run of both replacement and slaughter cows this week. Pastures in the area are still looking good due to recent rains but the weather has returned to more typical hot and dry conditions for this time of year.
