Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend but a steady to slightly higher undertone was noted. Steer and heifer calves traded mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher, with higher advances on larger groups. Quality was very attractive on the lighter weight calves, and plain to average on yearlings. The majority of the trading region received a good slow soaking rain over the weekend bringing anywhere between a half inch to 2 inches. Temperatures have also cooled down to the 70's and 80's, which has allowed pastures to begin to bounce back but a large amount of weeds are accompanying the new pasture growth.
