Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers traded 2.00-4.00 higher with spots 6.00 higher. Yearlings were not well tested however undertones were higher. Demand was good on a light to moderate supply. Additional rains, following those from Hurricane Laura last week, have turned the pastures green and increased the demand for grass ready calves.
