Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend, but a mostly steady to firm undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady to weak. Quality was mostly plain to average, with some load lots of yearling crossbred cattle on offer. Trading activity was moderate on moderate to good demand. The majority of the trading region received some much needed rain last week ranging from 2 tenths to an inch.
