Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady to 1.00 lower on limited comparable sales from the previous week. Steer calves traded 5.00 to 6.00 lower. Heifer calves traded mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher on increased buyer demand. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 5.00 to 6.00 lower. Bred cows and cow-calf pairs traded sharply higher. Trading activity was moderate on moderate to good buyer demand. Higher than average temperatures are forecasted through the week, but buyers are still putting a heavy emphasis on vaccination programs and long weaning as we move into October.
