Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded mostly 1.00 to 7.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded steady to 6.00 lower. Not enough comparable sales on steer and heifer calves for a market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls were too lightly tested for a market trend. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Record breaking heat accompanied by extreme high winds have moved across the trading region. Sustained winds of 30 to 40 mph accompanied by 65 mph gusts have resulted in fast moving wildfires in the Northern and Eastern portions of the Panhandle that have already burned over 230,000 acres.
