Compared to last week, feeder cattle were too thinly tested for an accurate market trend. Slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 higher, while slaughter bulls sold 1.00 higher. Demand was good, with several of the cows returning to feed. Rain continues to cause issues for hay to be harvested and many areas have seen rainfall numbers that total what they normally get for the year within the last month. Many are seeking a window of opportunity to get hay laid down and baled before the next storm hits.
