Slaughter cows were 2.00-4.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of replacement cattle. Hay harvest continues, as producers try to stockpile as much as possible, but with overnight temperatures at or near the 40’s most pasture and hay growth is rapidly decreasing. Most of the area is classified as abnormally dry or moderate drought with the light rain this morning doing little to help that condition.

Supply included (percentages are rounded): 69% Slaughter Cattle (13% Bulls, 87% Cows); 31% Replacement Cattle (6% Cow-Calf Pairs, 59% Bred Cows, 33% Stock Cows, 1% Bred Heifers);
