SLAUGHTER CATTLE 852 761 587
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 803 1522 175
FEEDER CATTLE 6713 455 2816
Not enough feeder cattle from last week for a market comparison. Slaughter cows
sold steady to 3.00 higher and bull sold 1.00 higher. Demand was mostly good
throughout the week. Bulk of the calves and feeder cattle sold at area auctions
were grown through the winter to be turned out on summer range. However, the
impeding drought has changed the minds of cattlemen and those ranchers are
selling now since the pastures are still very brown. Per NASS, 70 percent of
the range or pasture conditions is at poor to very poor. Same week a year ago
range conditions was at 42 percent poor to very poor.
