Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded 1.00 to 6.00 higher. Steer calves traded mostly firm, with the exception of 500-550 lb steers which were 4.00 lower. All classes of heifers sold steady to 2.00 higher on comparable sales. Slaughter cows traded with a higher undertone compared to last weeks light test. Quality was very attractive with the majority of the supply once again consisting of load lots of yearlings straight off the short grass. Portions of the Panhandle received some spotty rain ranging from a half inch to an inch and a half. This has lead to drought improvements in the Northern and Central Panhandle according to the US Drought Monitor. However, 90 percent of the state is still rated from abnormally dry to exceptional drought compared to only 5 percent last year.
