Market Notes

Compared to last week, feeder steers under 500 lbs sold 3.00 to 4.00 lower; 500 to 600 lbs no comparison; over 600 lbs 7.00 to 10.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 700 lbs sold on a light test due to light receipts this week, however a weak undertone was noted; 700 to 800 lbs 9.00 to 10.00 higher; 800 to 900 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher; over 900 lbs 12.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold uneven; breakers sold 4.00 to 5.00 lower, boners and leans sold steady to 1.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feedyards sold 3.00 higher at 137.00. Compared to the last report, dairy hay bumped up .05/point rfv while all other alfalfa and grass hay stayed steady. Interest and demand seem to be good, but hesitancy remains on making long term contracts, due to the drought. Extremely hot and dry weather returned to the plains this past week adding to concerns of shorter hay supplies, both in the bunk and in the pasture.

Supply included: 85% Feeder Cattle (67% Steers, 33% Heifers, 0% Bulls); 15% Slaughter Cattle (92% Cows, 8% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 96%.
