Compared to last week: Feeder steers over 800 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher; under 800 lbs 1.00-3.00 higher. Feeder heifers 5.00-15.00 higher. Steer calves 8.00-15.00 higher. Heifer calves 10.00-20.00 higher. Demand for feeder cattle remains strong following last week's somewhat favorable Cattle on Feed report. Futures markets responded accordingly, with prices trading higher. Slaughter cattle prices have also strengthened. Overall quality ranged from average to attractive, with most cattle exhibiting thin to medium flesh conditions. Widespread overnight rainfall provided beneficial moisture, though several areas of the state experienced high winds along with the storms. Demand also very good for calves. Rains have created a new hope for grass pastures.
