Compared to last week steers were too lightly tested for a market comparison. Yearling heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher and bulls steady. Demand was good to very good for light calves and feeder cattle with good demand for slaughter cattle and pairs. Most cattle continue to come off short, dry summer grass. Spotty rain showers in different areas of the state with some areas receiving up to 2" of rain. Hopefully mother nature will continue with some rain as most irrigation districts are shutting off September 1 or close to it to preserve water.
