Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves traded 4.00 to 8.00 higher on comparable sales. Slaughter cows and bulls mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher on a light test. Quality was very attractive with big strings of cattle that came straight off the wheat, as well as, several nice loads of NHTC cattle on offer. Buyer demand was good on moderate to active trading activity. A cold front is forecasted to move into the region midweek, accompanied by a chance of snow. The entire trading region is in desperate need of moisture.
