Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 4.00-8.00 lower. Feeder heifers 10.00-12.00 lower on very limited receipts. Steer and heifer calves not well tested so no trend available but a lower undertone noted. Demand light. Quality average to mostly attractive. Heavy rainfall across the trade area for the past several days in combination of lower CME markets have both buyers and sellers hesitant.
