Compared to last week, steers sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower and heifers sold steady on a light test. Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Demand was moderate to good. Dry conditions prevail across the state with few fires, but many producers are not concerned about it right now. Abundance amount of hay and other forages sitting along the roadside and farmer/feeders are piling up large piles of silage for backgrounding calves or feeding their herds. If dryness continues throughout the year and into next there could be liquidations of some mother cows or ewes as pastures will not have regrowth.
