As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded firm on limited comparable sales from the previous week. Steer and heifer calves traded mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher, with instances of up to 6.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Quality was attractive. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady. The trading region is in need of some moisture to boost area winter wheat, but no moisture is in the forecast for the upcoming week.
