Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady to 1.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves traded firm to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls were firm to 2.00 higher on limited comparable sales from the previous week. Trading activity was moderate to active on moderate buyer demand. Above average temperatures for this time of year accompanied by high winds have continued to dry out soil moisture and diminish winter grazing. As a result, more cattle are being sent to growyards.
