Not enough comparable feeders last week for a market comparison. However a 
higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher and bulls 
sold steady.  Demand was good.  Few, more feeders and cow/pairs hitting the 
market due to the drought in the state. Cattlemen are starting to cut numbers 
on cow/calf pairs and late bred cows along with would be grass yearlings are 
getting sold. Tough situation many ranchers are facing these days on what to 
keep and what to sell due to the lingering drought. Irrigation water will be 
very tight this growing season and that will limit the tons of feed that will 
be produced for livestock to consume.
