Compared to last week: Cattle continue to come in off of short wheat. There
were too few comparable sales to state a trend, but sentiment seemed to be
steady to slightly higher. Demand seeming to favor 700-800 pound steers and
heifers, as well as 400 pound calves. This week also brought higher demand for
slaughter cattle with average to high yielding cows bringing 8.00-12.00 higher.
Trading was active on good demand. There's a possibility for some relief to the
dry conditions we've had since fall, forecasters are giving the area a good
chance of measurable rain over the next three days.
