As filed

Compared to last week: Steers and heifers calves traded mostly steady on limited comparable sales. Slaughter cows and bulls traded 5.00 to 9.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate on moderate demand. Quality was mixed, with the majority of the supply consisting of unweaned or short weaned calves. Warmer conditions have returned to the area as cotton harvest is wrapping up. A cool down is forecasted next week accompanied my a chance of moisture.
