Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 6.00 to 8.00 higher. In the hay market, demand remains light, despite the winter weather and prices remain mostly steady. The supply of hay available remains heavy. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor for the week of January 14th, The Central High Plains continued to have worsening drought conditions and moderate drought (D1) was expanded across portions of southwestern Nebraska. Although light precipitation (less than 0.5 inch, liquid equivalent) fell across parts of south-central to southeastern Kansas, this precipitation was too low to justify any improvements.
