Compared to last week steers less than 500 lbs sold 7.00 higher on a thin test, 600 to 800 lbs sold unevenly steady with 8 weights 5.00 higher. Heifers less than 500 lbs sold 4.00 to 7.00 lower, 500 to 700 lbs sold steady to 2.00 lower, 7 weight heifers 8.00 higher and over 800 lbs 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher, instances 8.00 higher on some feeding cows. Slaughter bull sold 3.00 to 5.00 lower but offering not as attractive as last week. Demand was moderate to good for calves and feeders with good demand for slaughter, feeding, bred cows and pairs. Some moisture across the state with the NE areas of the state showing up on the US drought monitor last Thursday. At least going into this summer grazing season there is quite a lot of hay sitting around the state from 2023 season and this could be supplemented to livestock if needed in these dry areas.
