This week's light test of the market saw yearling feeders steers over 800 lbs steady to 6.00 higher. Not enough other weights of steers and heifers for a market comparison. Demand was moderate to good for mostly packages of fall calves and a few load lots. Area feedlots sold live and dressed sales steady with last week at 230.00 to 232.00 and 368.00 respectively. Spotty rain showers along with some fields getting wiped out with hail and winds over the weekend. But onward the farmer and rancher trudges trying to decide if they can replant some kind of feed or what there next option is. Stormy weather is on the horizon all week for the cornhusker state. Drought conditions have slightly improved in the last two weeks but most of the state continues to have dryness in the subsoil moisture.
