Compared to last week, the best test was on Feeder Steers 850-950 lbs selling 6.00 to 10.00 higher. Feeder Heifers not well tested for an accurate market trend. Slaughter Cows sold 10.00 higher and Bulls steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good. In the Hay market, Demand is still low for grinding hay; however, trade activity has picked up a bit as buyers are looking for bargains and many sellers are willing to let go of old crop hay in order to clean out barns. New crop pricing is still slow to come in. First cut alfalfa has been steadily hitting the ground with yields less than anticipated in western counties. Some producers are already laying down their second cutting. Eastern county alfalfa yields have been average to above average depending on rainfall received.
