Compared to last week, feeder steers overall sold 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers overall sold 3.00 to 6.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Demand overall was moderate. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feedyards sold 2.00 lower at 155.00. In the hay market, demand remained strong, prices remained mostly steady, and actual trades were up for the south-central region. Conversations last week revolved around questions regarding a softening market. Although there were discussions, actual prices reported remained firm. Many agree that if precipitation is not received within the next 30 days, they will be up against "the trouble line" which may result in the selling off of cattle. Conversely, southeastern Kansas farmers would like to be in the fields but have found them too soft to begin their work, despite the drought situation.
