Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 1-3 higher. Demand for feeder cattle is very good. Steer calves 2-6 higher. Heifer calves steady. Demand very good for steers, moderate for heifers as farmers look to buy calves for wheat pasture. Quality mostly average, end attractive. Wheat pasture in the Southwest part of the state as well as the North Texas region is in pretty good shape, as recent rains have helped them tremendously. Wheat pasture in Northwestern Oklahoma is still in need of a good rain. Supply included 57 percent over 600 lbs; 41 percent heifers.
