   Compared to last week:  Feeder steers and heifers 1.00-2.00 higher.  
Stocker cattle and calves not well tested but few sales with a steady to
higher undertone noted.  Demand very good for all classes even though 
some buying interests are not aggressive.  Heavy rains hit parts of 
Oklahoma over the Holiday weekend leaving some with very beneficial rains 
and others with nothing at all.  Temperatures have cooled off from the upper
90's and 100's for today but summer time heat will return by midweek.  
Supply included 77 percent over 600 lbs and 41 percent heifers.
