Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady. Trading activity and demand were very good. Quality was attractive. Several load lots of heifers straight off the wheat on offer, as well as a complete herd dispersal of heavy bred cows and pairs. Not enough recent comparable sales on slaughter cows or bulls for an adequate market trend. Hotter weather is in the forecast this week, with temperatures reaching up into the 90's by Friday.
