Compared to last week, steers sold 10.00 to 20.00 lower. Heifers under 750 were not well tested, however a sharply lower undertone noted. Heifers over 750 sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady. Compared to last week, trading of Kansas negotiated fed cattle sold mostly steady up to 5.00 lower at 260.00. In the hay market, Demand remained strong this past week as old crop inventories continued to tighten. Prices trended higher amid expectations of a lighter first cutting of alfalfa and ongoing drought conditions across the western two thirds of the state. With warmer temperatures settling in, alfalfa harvest activity has begun to increase across many areas.
