Compared to last week, not enough of a comparison for an accurate market trend due to bitterly cold temperatures, however an uneven undertone noted. Demand was moderate to good. Fed cattle in Kansas sold 4.00 lower at 199.00. In the hay market This past week, demand was light, and trades were slow to moderate. Prices were mostly steady, and the availability of grinder hay remained heavy. Grinders would still like to purchase hay and continue to have difficulty getting it bought with sellers hanging on to the hope of higher prices.
