As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 7.00 to 11.00 lower on limited comparable sales. Trade activity was moderate on light to moderate demand. Drought conditions are really taking a toll on the cattle markets with planted wheat pastures needing moisture. A frigid forecast for next week expected, which causes concern for non vaccinated or fleshy calves. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 4.00 higher.
