Market Notes
Compared to last week steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls 2.00 higher. Not enough bred cows or pairs for an adequate market comparison. Demand was moderate to good at both reporting auctions. Few, more open cows and heiferettes made their way to the auction this week with several of the young cows going back to the county to try motherhood one more time. Even though summer grass could me limited this summer, cattlemen continue to procure lots for summer turn out. If the green grass holds out cost of gains will be cheaper than in the feedlot where roughage is tight, and corn has jumped up.
