Compared to last week: Unweaned steer and heifer calves traded mostly steady. Not enough comparable sales on yearlings or weaned cattle due to last weeks light test. Trading activity was moderate on moderate to good buyer demand. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady. Unseasonably warm temperatures have returned to the trading region with some much needed rain in the forecast for the early part of next week.
