REPLACEMENT CATTLE 822 3382 0
Compared to last week, steers over 800 lbs sold 5.00 to 8.00 higher and heifers
over 700 lbs sold 15.00 higher. Bred cows and pairs sold steady. Demand was
good. Ranchers in the western area of the state continue to downsize cow herds
due to the very dry conditions in there area. Quite a few of the older cows
are being split with record prices prevailing for bawling spring calves. Some
areas have been getting a little rain but most of the state is still way behind
on precipitation. Area feedlots prices for the week had live sales steady from
260.00 to 265.00 and dressed sales steady to 5.00 lower at 410.00.
