Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers traded 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves traded mostly firm to 2.00 higher, with instances of up to 8.00 higher on long weaned cattle. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 4.00 higher. Trading activity was active on good buyer demand. Temperatures have been pretty mild for this time of the year in the 50's and 60's, however moisture has been short. According to the US Drought Monitor, Texas had 58% of the rangeland and pastures; 52% of the oats; and 49% of the winter wheat crop rated in the very poor to poor condition.
