Compared to last week, steers sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher while heifers sold 4.00 to 6.00 higher. Demand was good to very good. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher, while bulls were steady. Feedlot trade in Kansas this week 7.00 to 8.00 higher at 210.00. This past week in the hay market, demand was light and trades remained slow. Prices were mostly steady. Contributors to the hay market report, state that trades are incredibly slow. Many have not seen anything like this before and equate low cattle numbers to the lack of hay sales. However, producers also state that before they sell their hay below production cost, they will shed it or feed it to their own livestock. Contributors also talked about the worsening of drought conditions, not just across Kansas, but other Great Plains states. Many indicated that it might be wise to hold onto the 2024 hay that they have been unable to sell.
