Compared to last week steers sold unevenly steady and heifers sold 3.00 to 8.00 
lower. Slaughter and feeding cows sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher and bulls steady. 
Demand was moderate to good. Heavy supply of heifer calves and yearlings on 
offer this week. With drought conditions continuing some ranchers sold there 
would be replacement heifers and are hoping they will have enough feed to keep 
there pairs another year.  It appears that most ranchers are not expanding 
their cow herd this coming up breeding season.  Since the eastern half of the 
state is in a D3 (extreme drought) and the western side is in a lesser drought 
conditions but still very dry. Snow pack released last Monday; state's SNOTELs 
are reading 53% of median with a basin high of 97% and a basin low of 0%. Last 
year the state was at 98%, and at 97% in 2024. This snowpack is directly 
related to the irrigation needs of all within the state.
