Compared to last week, feeders steers and heifers sold 3.00-5.00 higher. Steer and heifers calves under 700 lbs. sold uneven from 3.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. Market indicators have been more positive this week with cash prices for fat cattle trending higher and cattle futures also seeing some modest gains. Locally the area saw much needed rainfall with reports of 5 inches or more. Instead of downpours, most of the rain came in small increments over 4 days allowing it to soak in without flash flooding. With temperatures expected in the 80's this week the area should see a boost in fall pasture growth.
