Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Early fall blizzard which dropped 20"-30" of snow in the region followed by ongoing heavy rains has caused rural roads to be in poor condition as well as farmsteads to be extremely wet and unable to support livestock load outs. Farmers/Ranchers are also devoting time to harvest of row crops and removing hay from areas subject to flooding. Very little activity in the feeder cattle market is expected in the next two to three weeks. Watch local listings for updates.
