Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Steer calves traded mostly weak to steady. Heifer calves were mostly 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady to weak. Trading activity was moderate on moderate to good buyer demand. A cold front moved into the area over the weekend bringing trace amounts of snow. However, the trading region is in desperate need of some moisture as higher than average temperatures accompanied by high winds have dried out soil moisture levels. As of December 28, Amarillo, Texas has observed no precipitation for 76 consecutive days which is the second longest dry streak on record, according to the US Drought Monitor.
