REPLACEMENT CATTLE 300 272 0
FEEDER CATTLE 6837 16093 6318
Compared to last week steers and heifers less than 600 lbs lightly tested.
Steers over 600 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher and heifers from 600 to 800 lbs
sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good on calves and feeders
with good demand for bred cows and pairs. Some of the bred cattle are heading
out of state with several lots getting purchased on the internet. Feedlot
trade was slow to transpire and finally kicked off on Friday with live and
dressed sales steady on the week at 235.00 and 372.00 respectively. The
biggest wildfire in the state history is finally contained with a total of
642,029 acres burned. Several thousand cattle will be displaced but it's
anyone guess on the exact numbers. Plus, it will be several years before the
sandhills pastures in that area will be grazeable. Very slow, all day rains
would be very beneficial to the burned grass area within this state. Around
823,600 grass land acres in 4 big fires last couple of weeks plus several acres
from smaller grass fires occurred last week too but didn't make the "watch
duty" app calculations. Calendar flipped to spring on Friday, the 20th,
hopefully the spring rains will prevail soon. Last year it was roughly the
third week in May before the rains came and the grass was bountiful. Ample
carry over on hay supplies this spring has been very helpful with several
people donating semi loads of hay to the ranchers in the burned areas.
