As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady to 2.00 lower on comparable sales. Steer and heifer calves were steady to 5.00 higher. Quality was mostly plain to average. Buyer demand and trading activity were moderate. Evening rain showers have finally returned to the majority of the area over the last week. Drought conditions still persist, but some places have reported as much as 2 to 4 inches of rain from the last set of storms.
