Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves and feeder steers 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Feeder heifers 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Supply included unweaned or short weaned calves, feeder steers and heifers coming off confined feeding operations and feeder steers and heifers off graze-out wheat. Slaughter cows on offer included several thin beef cows as the trade area's extreme drought conditions continues to take a toll. Trade and demand moderate.
