Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 5.00 to 8.00 higher, with larger advances on load lots of cattle. Steer and heifer calves traded 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Trading activity was active on very good buyer demand. Slaughter cows traded firm to 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls too lightly tested for a market trend. According to the US Drought Monitor, the northeastern portion of the Texas Panhandle last week saw 2-4 inches rainfall over an area of exceptional drought, helping to relieve drought conditions with a small downgrade to extreme drought there. However, for the most part, extreme to exceptional drought conditions persisted across the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles, and much of western Oklahoma. There's not much relief in sight, with this weeks forecast consisting of temperatures in the upper 90's and 100's with limited chances of moisture.
