Compared to last week, steers under 500 lbs sold sharply higher on limited
comparisons; Over 500 lbs sold 2.00 to 8.00 higher. Heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00
higher. Demand was good to very good as buyers were procuring needs with only
one week left of marketing prior to the holiday break. Slaughter cows and
bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher. Kansas negotiated fed cattle sales sold 5.00
higher at 230.00. This past week in the hay market, Hay movement was mostly
steady this past week. Increased moisture across the state limited some
producers' ability to move hay. There is still an abundance of grinder-quality
hay, putting slight pressure on prices. High-quality alfalfa remains in high
demand and is moving quickly.
