Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend but a sharply higher undertone was noted. Quality was plain to attractive. There were several large strings of nice feeding type cattle with favorable weigh-ups on offer. Slaughter cows too lightly tested for a market trend. Temperatures have been above average, reaching over 100 degrees for the past few days. However, some relief is in sight with temperatures dropping down to the 90's and rain chances for the remainder of the week and into the weekend.
