Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 8.00 to 11.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Steer and heifer calves were too lightly tested two weeks ago for a trend, but a sharply higher undertone was noted. Not enough comparable sales on slaughter cows and bulls for a market trend. Quality was attractive with the majority of the supply consisting of large packages of feeders off the grass. Several bunches of high quality replacements were on offer as well. Trading activity was active on good buyer demand. Higher than average temperatures have returned to the trading region, but scattered showers have kept pastures and rangelands in very good condition.
