As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on steer or heifer calves for an adequate market trend, but a lower undertone was noted. No test on feeder steers or heifers. Not enough comparable sales on Slaughter cows or bulls for a market trend. The majority of the supply consisted of unweaned or short weaned calves. As drought conditions worsen and little to no precipitation in the immediate forecast, wheat pasture prospects seem to be limited. Buyer demand and trade activity were light to moderate.
