Compared to last week, steers sold 3.00 to 10.00 lower. Heifer calves sold 10.00 to 15.00 lower, while yearlings sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 4.00 to 7.00 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.
