Compared to last week, no recent price comparison on feeder steers under 700 lbs; over 700 lbs sold 4.00 to 7.00 higher. No recent price comparison on heifers under 700 lbs; over 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher. Demand was good. Slaughter Cows sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold steady. Hay market prices bumped up a bit for dairy alfalfa, mostly steady for grinding alfalfa and grass hay. Demand remains good for alfalfa, still in limited supply. Although folks are making bales as swift as they can, it is being bought up faster than they can bale it, all the while fighting high humidity and plagued by all those other problems that generally come this time of year. Most report high yields but lower quality, with only a few folks able to put up dairy quality hay.
