Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold with a firm to higher undertone. Some nice groups of weaned calves and a few yearlings were on hand to test the market and demand was good. Cattle futures had a rough middle of the week, however they rebounded Thursday and it gave some confidence to the market. Supply was light to moderate. A big rain fell last weekend across the trade area and provided some much needed relief from the drought. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 lower.
