Compared to last week, feeder steers were 5.00-10.00 lower with feeder heifers not well tested. Steer calves were steady to 5.00 lower with heifer calves 5.00-10.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a light supply. The largest draft of the day was 135 head of 776 lb. steers which sold for 328.00/cwt. Most of the area was seeing some much needed rain on Tuesday. Although it's too late for significant pasture growth, it did produce some runoff to help streams and ponds.
