Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls too lightly tested for a market trend. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. The trading region received some much needed rain over the weekend. The grass has greened up but the cool season weeds have come with it.

Slaughter cattle
