Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers compared to last weeks light test, but a higher undertone was noted. Steer and heifer calves traded mostly steady to 5.00 higher, with instances of 10.00 higher on 550 to 600 pound calves. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 1.00 higher. Trading activity was active on good buyer demand. A good portion of the trading region received some much needed rain over the weekend. Although the total amounts of rain were short, it was more than welcome to help this wheat crop emerge.
