Compared to two weeks ago, feeder steers under 800 lbs sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher; over 800 sold 7.00 to 8.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher; 600 to 800 lbs 6.00 to 7.00 higher; over 800 lbs steady to 1.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Demand overall was good. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feedyards sold 1.00 lower at 137.00. Compared to the last report, prices have remained steady to firm, on a limited test, but the true market price has not seemed to find its feet quite yet. Supply and demand are moderate, while hay movement is moderate to good as most producers have reported lower yields. Many are looking to buy hay now to ensure they have their needs covered, especially as the hottest and driest months lay ahead.
