Compared to two weeks ago: Steer calves traded mostly 5.00 higher. Heifer calves traded mostly 5.00 lower, reflecting a market correction after an unprecedented rise in prices and buyer demand noted from two weeks ago. Not enough comparable sales on yearlings but a lower undertone was noted. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Slaughter cows were too lightly tested for a market trend but a lower undertone was noted. More rain moved into the trading region last Thursday, and additional rain is in the forecast through the weekend. Wheat harvest is wrapping up and pastures are in good condition as rain and cooler temperatures continue to be the story this summer.
