Compared to last week steers under 500 lbs sold sharply higher, most lots over 500 lbs sold steady except 7 weights sold 8.00 higher. Flyweight heifers sold sharply higher with all other weights trading unevenly steady. Slaughter, feeding and rebreed cows sold 3.00 to 7.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Bred heifers and bred cows steady. Demand was good for all classes of cattle. Warmer weather across most of the state hopefully it will hold out for the ranchers that are calving. Quite a lot of bales of hay sitting around different areas of the state waiting to be sold. This will be the first year in quite some time that many producers could have old crop hay in the sheds when first cutting goes into a bale.
