Compared to last week most weights of steer calves sold 10.00 higher. Yearling steers sold steady. Heifer calves and yearling weight heifers sold unevenly steady. Slaughter cows sold 4.00 to 8.00 higher and slaughter bull 4.00 higher on a fairly heavy supply. That time of year where ranchers are selling open, thin and older cows at time of weaning. Winter grazing pastures are very short with some being burned this fall or throughout the summer. Bountiful amounts of hay across the state but limited cash flow may limit the tonnage purchased. Fall harvest is underway along with alfalfa producers cutting there final cutting of the year.
