Compared to last week, 600-700 lb. steers sold steady to 5.00 higher. The light supply did not provide much in the way of true comparisons on other weights and classes. The offering was made of mostly small packages, singles and odds and ends with overall quality not as attractive as typical. Demand for feeders varied drastically based upon heath risk associated with each consignment. The few larger consignments of weaned and worked calves that were slicked off found a lot more interest than those which were pulled right from the cows and likely would have seen better management in a more normal year. Drought conditions and lack of feed continues to leave many producers with no choice but to sell sooner than they wish and likely responsible for the absence of vaccination or weaning programs. Although some producers continue to miss out on moisture many have now received some rain since last week's sale, with a few luckiest folks seeing two or three inches. Much unlike previous weeks if not months now, there was a slight spark seen in demand for replacements some of which came from other states. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher.
