Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers mostly steady in a light test, instances steer calves under 600 lbs 1.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Slaughter bulls not well tested. Portions of the trade area received much needed rainfall on the week however drought conditions remain prevalent. A portion of today's receipts were new crop calves with pre-weaning shots. Trade and demand moderate.
