Compared to last week, Feeder Steers sold steady to 7.00 higher. Feeder Heifers sold 3.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter Cows and Bulls sold steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was good. In the Hay Market, demand was moderate for alfalfa but remained light for grass hay. Open weather, greening pastures and lower cattle numbers continue to contribute to the lower demand and lower prices. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor for March 12th, localized heavy rains from severe thunderstorms last week occurred in parts of central and southeast Kansas, leading to localized improvements to ongoing drought and abnormal dryness. In south-central and southwest Kansas, abnormal dryness developed where dry weather from the past couple of months combined with warm and windy conditions.
