Compared to last week steers less than 500 lbs sold 7.00 lower, 5 weights sold 
2.00 higher, 6 weight sold 10.00 higher. Yearlings over 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 
10.00 higher. Heifers less than 600 lbs sold 6.00 to 10.00 higher over 600 lbs 
sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good to instances very good for yearling 
feeders. Slowly getting into the bawling calf market across the state. Quite a 
few large strings of yearling hit the market at various auction.  Feedlots 
continue to fill pits with silage and just getting started on high moisture 
corn. Some hay producers are on third or fourth cutting and a few grass hay 
producers are still trying to put up hay on the wet meadows and other grass 
fields.  Feedlot sales slipped back again this week as packers are running 
slower chain speeds and not killing as many cattle. Live sales sold 3.00 to 
4.00 lower and dressed sales 5.00 lower at 365.00.
