Compared to last week, undertone on steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs were moderately higher. Yearling steers and heifers over 600 lbs sold 10.00 to 20.00 lower. Demand was moderate. Some calf runs are expected in the near future as the drought has taken its toll on the state's pastures. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00 to 6.00 lower. In the hay market, hay prices remained steady, while movement slowed in some areas. The outlook for upcoming cuttings of alfalfa is largely dependent on rainfall over the next week. Demand remains strong for high-quality prairie hay, with a majority of available supplies being shipped out of state to areas experiencing drier conditions.
