As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded mostly 5.00 lower on comparable sales. Feeder heifers were sharply lower on limited comparable sales. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady to 4.00 higher. Quality was mostly plain to average. Trading activity was moderate on moderate demand. Hotter than average temperatures coupled with high winds continue to dry out top soil moisture. According to the US Drought Monitor, only 8 percent of the state was in the extreme to exceptional drought category at the start of the year, but over 32 percent is rated extreme to exceptional categories as of this week.
