Not enough cattle on offer this week to establish a trend, however an uneven 
undertone was noted.  Winter Storm Fern curtailed receipts in the state this 
week as only around 3K head of cattle were reported at auctions this week.  
Bone chilling cold and treacherous road conditions were prevalent over the 
period of Jan 24-27.   Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher.  
Kansas negotiated fed cattle sales sold 4.00 to 5.00 higher at 238.00 to mostly 
240.00.  In the hay market, Hay movement during the past week remained slow but 
steady, with minimal change observed in overall market conditions. Producers 
across much of the state received some moisture during the reporting period, 
occurring as rain, snow, or a combination of both. Market participants continue 
to balance the decision between holding hay in storage in anticipation of 
improved prices and moving existing supplies to make room for the upcoming new 
crop.
