Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves sold steady to as much as 10.00 higher on light weight stockers. Yearlings not well tested. Demand was moderate to good. Heavy rains across the panhandle curbed receipts, but boosted grass in pastures that had been drought stricken. Wheat pastures are also benefitting from recent rains.
