Compared to last week, most lots of steers and heifers less than 800 lbs sold 6.00 to 10.00 lower. Over 800 lbs sold 10.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls sold unevenly steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Some moisture across the state with some green starting to pop up. Hopefully, Mother nature will warm up a tick and not freeze every morning so the grass will grow. Still quite a few loads of hay sitting around in various areas of the state. Some hay producers are thinking of tarping last years hay to cut down on damage it might accrue from spring rain showers.
