Compared to last week: Feeder steers were weak on a limited comparable sales. Feeder heifers were 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Steer calves were mostly 2.00 to 3.00 higher, with the exception of calves over 600 lbs which traded 5.00 to 6.00 lower. Heifer calves were mostly 1.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly weak to 2.00 lower. Trading activity and demand were both moderate. The majority of the supply consisted of unweaned or short weaned calves. Quality was mostly plain to attractive. Temperatures have been unseasonably high in the 80's to start the week, but a cold front accompanied by high winds will be moving into the region tomorrow.
