For the week, steers less than 700 lbs sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower, 7 weights sold 
5.00 lower, 8 weight sold steady and 9 weight sold 3.00 higher. Heifers less 
than 700 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher, over 700 lbs sold steady to 3.00 
higher. Pretty large supply for this time of year on bred cows an pairs. Most 
of these bred females and pairs are selling due to drought conditions as 
ranchers are starting to down size there herds. Some of the cows might also be 
sold due to the recent fires in some areas of the state.  Very limited rainfall 
across some areas of the state over the weekend. But at least some did get some 
rain. Hopefully this rain will help curtail the fires across the state. More 
fires broke out last week burning near 15,000 acres along with some structures 
and hay. Much more rain is needed!  Slaughter steers and heifers sold 2.00 
lower on live and dressed sales at 246.00 and 386.00 respectively.
