Compared to three weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers trade mostly 2.00 to 5.00 higher on comparable sales. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly firm to 1.00 higher. Replacement cattle were sharply higher. Demand was good on all classes with moderate to active trading activity. Quality was very attractive. Rain over the last few weeks has offered a boost to area pastures but the pasture improvements have also brought on the flies, mosquitos, and weeds.
