Compared to last week: Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold steady on a light test. Demand moderate. Several large drafts of cows included. The drought continues, leaving no choice for the rancher but to sell. Hay supplies are limited or priced high making it not worth it to winter cows. Wheat prospects also very dim with just over 50 percent of the crop planted and with no rain the chances of it making is very low.
