Compared to last week, feeder steers under 800 lbs not well tested; over 800 lbs sold uneven, 2.00 lower to 1.00 higher. Heifers under 700 lbs not well tested; over 700 lbs sold 2.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Breaking and Boning slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 5.00 lower. Hay market prices were mostly steady across the board, on limited test. Demand remains good for alfalfa, and folks are relieved that lots of hay is getting baled up. Most report high yields, 2-3 tons/acre, but lower quality for this first cutting, with only a few folks able to put up dairy quality hay. Slaughter steers and heifers in Kansas sold this week from 120.00 to 126.00 on light trading volume and not enough purchases in any price range for a full market trend.
