Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 3.00 to 6.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady. Trading activity and buyer demand were moderate, as the corn board closed up 15.0 cents pushing closer to $7.00 again. Higher than average temperatures and excessive winds have returned to the area. As a result, soil moisture levels have depleted even further, which has expanded drought conditions in the area. Their is a chance of moisture in the forecast, but it may be accompanied by severe weather.
