As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves traded firm to 5.00 higher, as buyers are beginning to stock up on good weaned calves that would be ready to turn out on wheat. Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers and heifers for an adequate market trend, but a mostly steady undertone was noted. With the large temperature swings in our weather, cattle that are not weaned or short weaned are trading at a heavy discount compared to their long-weaned counterparts. Slaughter cows traded mostly steady to 3.00 higher. Trade activity was moderate on moderate to good demand.
