Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers but a generally steady undertone was noted. Quality ranged from plain to attractive, with several loads of nice feeding type yearlings on offer. Trading activity was moderate to active on moderate to good buyer demand. Not enough comparable sales on slaughter cows or bulls for a market trend. Some winter wheat planting began to take place last week and over the weekend ahead of Saturday evenings rain showers.
