Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers sold 4.00 to 7.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Trade activity was light to moderate on good demand. Most of the area received several inches of rain over the holiday weekend, which has pastures in great shape. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher.
