As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales on steer and heifer calves for a market trend but a higher undertone was noted. Trading activity was active on good demand. The majority of the region received some more rain over the weekend and through the first part of the week. However, hot and dry conditions are forecasted to return to the area next week.
