Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales of feeder steers or heifers for a market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 3.00 to 5.00 higher on a light test. Trading activity was moderate to active on moderate to good buyer demand. Scattered showers across portions of the Panhandle over the weekend brought some much need moisture and relief in the hotter than average temperatures.
