Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers and heifers from last weeks weight classes for a market trend, but a mostly steady undertone was noted. Steer and heifer calves were mostly steady on limited comparable sales. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady to 2.00 lower. Trading activity was moderate to active on moderate to good demand. Quality was mostly attractive with several nice loads of yearlings and weaned calves on offer. Additionally, there were several large groups of bred cows that went back to the country. Rain and cooler temperatures are in the forecast later this week.
