Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves traded sharply higher, with instances of 20.00 higher on calves suitable to turnout on summer grass. The whole trading region has greened up following the rain over the past two weeks. Trading activity was active on good buyer demand. Slaughter cows traded mostly 5.00 to 8.00 higher. The wheat run has resumed, with receipts returning to near seasonal levels after recent delays due to heavy precipitation.
