Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves were unevenly steady on limited comparable sales from the previous week. Quality was very attractive, with the majority of the sale consisting of large load lots of yearlings straight off the short grass. Slaughter cows and bulls traded 3.00 to 4.00 higher on a light test. Trading activity was active on very good buyer demand. A good portion of the trading region finally received some much needed rain ranging from 2-7 inches. The droughted out pastures are starting to green up for the first time this summer.
