Compared to last week, steers sold 10.00 to 20.00 lower. Heifers under 750
were not well tested, however a sharply lower undertone noted. Heifers over
750 sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows and
bulls sold mostly steady. Compared to last week, trading of Kansas negotiated
fed cattle sold mostly steady up to 5.00 lower at 260.00. In the hay market,
Demand remained strong this past week as old crop inventories continued to
tighten. Prices trended higher amid expectations of a lighter first cutting of
alfalfa and ongoing drought conditions across the western two thirds of the
state. With warmer temperatures settling in, alfalfa harvest activity has begun
to increase across many areas.
