Compared to two weeks ago on available sales: Steer calves under 600 lbs. unevenly steady to 4.00 lower, though quality not as attractive, feeders over 600 lbs. steady on limited comparable quotes except a few 750-800 lbs. 4.00 higher. Heifer calves and feeders unevenly steady, a few 600-650 lbs. 4.00 higher. Quality not as attractive on feeders. Slaughter cows 1.00 lower, bulls 1.00 higher. Rain in the trade area the past few weeks has improved the outlook and created some optimism concerning the outlook for future pasture and may have limited receipts.
