Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady. Steer and heifer calves were sharply higher on lighter weights, but quality was more attractive then the previous week. Slaughter cows and bulls traded 1.00 higher. Quality was attractive, with several load lots of cattle on offer. Trading activity was mostly active on good demand. The majority of the trading region received a much needed rain with totals ranging from a half inch to 2 inches.
