Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher, with instances of 20.00 to 30.00 higher on 550 to 650 pound heifers. Trading activity was active on very good buyer demand. Quality was mixed, with a large portion of the supply consisting of replacement cattle. Slaughter cows were too lightly tested for a market trend. Pastures are still green and soil moisture levels are adequate to surplus according to the Texas Crop and Weather report. Rain fell again over the weekend but seasonal temperatures in the upper 90's have finally made there way into the trading region.
