Compared to last week most lots of steer calves sold 4.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifer calves sold steady to 5.00 higher. Not enough yearling weight cattle for a market comparison. Last reported slaughter cattle sale was two weeks ago a trend not applicable. However, a lower undertone was noted. Best demand for cattle that might be going to grass next summer. Normal weather pattern across most of the state. Quite a few open cows continue to hit the market. Hay market has been rather sluggish the last few weeks. The best demand has been for small square bales and "cow type" hay. Other grades of hay has been very slow to move.
