Compared to last week, feeder steers under 800 lbs not tested; light test over 800 lbs sold sharply higher. All weights of heifers not tested. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows and bulls not well tested, however a lower undertone noted. Hay market prices were steady across the board. Demand remains good for alfalfa, and folks are relieved that lots of hay is getting baled up, although most is going to the grinder hay market. Most producers report they have finished first cutting with good yield but have concerns for second cutting. Slaughter steers and heifers in Kansas sold this week from 120.00 to 122.00; steady to 2.00 lower when compared to two weeks ago.
