Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 10.00 lower. Demand
was good to very good. Breaking and Boning slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00
to 5.00 higher, while Lean cows were 2.00 lower. Compared to last week,
trading of Kansas negotiated fed cattle sold mostly 1.00 higher at 256.00 to
260.00, mostly 256.00. In the hay market, Demand increased substantially this
past week as drought conditions persist across many areas of the state.
However, producers remain hesitant to market inventory due to uncertainty about
future forage needs. Statewide, alfalfa conditions have declined, as ongoing
dryness and insect pressure have negatively impacted new crop development.
According to the US Drought Monitor for the week of April 23rd, in the High
Plains Region, the region was mostly dry, with isolated rainfall in far
southeast Nebraska, northern and southeast Kansas, and small areas of Colorado
and North Dakota. Temperatures were generally above normal, with the warmest
departures in southeast Nebraska and eastern Kansas. Dryness and a warm spring
led to widespread degradation.
