Market Notes
Compared to last week, feeder steers under 700 lbs sold 8.00 to 10.00 higher; over 700 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower; over 600 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 4.00 lower. Slaugher bulls sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Demand was reported as good throughout the state. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feed yards sold steady at 165.00. In the hay market, demand remains good, prices remained mostly steady, trade activity was slow. The western half of the state remains in drought although areas surrounding western Kansas have all received some form of precipitation in the last several weeks. As the drought lingers, so do concerns for this year's alfalfa crop. For areas east folks are busy in the field preparing ground and applying fertilizer, which has thankfully come down in price this year.
