Compared to last week: Steer consignment numbers were light for this week and last, so no comparison can be made. Heifers 750-800lbs, 12.00 higher on a light test from last weeks showing; 800-900, 4.00-5.00 higher; 900-1000, steady to 2.00 lower. Several lots of home raised, spayed or preg checked open heifers sold on moderate demand. Market activity was moderate for this smaller sale of primarily yearlings, with many of the regular buyers missing from the stands. Weather in the area remains hot and dry, with pastures drying up, however, the forecast is calling for cooler temperatures next week.
