Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand were moderate. Feeder steers were too thinly tested last week to form an accurate market trend. The only comparison available were 800-850 lb yearling steers that traded 1.50 lower. Feeder heifers under 750 lbs were too lightly tested last week for any comparisons. Yearling heifers between 750-950 lbs traded steady to 5.00 lower, while those weighing over 950 lbs traded 2.50 higher. Replacement cattle numbers continue to rise as the lack of rain and drought conditions continue to exist. Young cows listed as stocker cattle sold sharply higher. All those listed as stocker cows were consigned exposed to bulls for 30-75 days, though none were confirmed for pregnancy. Slaughter cows traded steady to 4.75 lower, while slaughter bulls traded steady.
