Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on steers or heifers for a market trend as the majority of the supply consisted of unweaned calves. Slaughter cows and bulls were too lightly tested last week for a market trend. Supply was mostly plain to attractive. Trading activity was limited to moderate with buyers being somewhat hesitant to raise their hands on these unweaned calves with temperatures staying over 100 degrees for the past few weeks.
