Compared to last week most weights of steers less than 800 lbs sold 10.00 
higher. 8 weight steers sold 2.00 higher and over 900 lbs sold 10.00 higher on 
a very thin test. Heifers less than 600 lbs sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher, 6 weights 
sold 10.00 higher, 700 to 900 lbs sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher and over 900 lbs 
sold 10.00 on a very thin test. Demand was mostly good, with very good demand 
for replacement heifers and for bred heifers and cows.  Another week of several 
buyers looking for replacement heifers. Some are buying average quality heifers 
with other seeking the top of the shelf heifers. Several of the prospective 
heifers will be developed and sold as bred females last of this year and into 
2027.   Feedlots traded live sales unevenly steady from 238.00 to 241.00 and 
dressed sales sold 3.00 higher at 378.00.  Hay market remains mostly slow with 
a decent amount of hay sitting around the state. Last year the market saw an 
sharp upward tick in May before the late spring rains arrived.  Be interesting, 
what the future of the hay market will be this spring.
