As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Trade activity was moderate on moderate to good demand. Pop up thunderstorms across the panhandle for those fortunate enough to receive some rain; temperatures cooled off to the low 90's. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher.
