No comparisons to make: The undertones compared to 3 weeks ago were steers higher and heifers steady. The buyer demand continues to be very good. The market was active from start to finish. The feeder cattle were carrying a moderate flesh condition. A few of the local producers who usually go to grass with their feeder cattle are marketing this spring. The Dickinson, ND area received a major rain event last week with reports of up to 6 inches, KFYR TV at Bismarck, ND is forecasting another rain event for early next week. Drought conditions are still in play and local producers need continued rain to make up for the dry months. This is the last scheduled feeder cattle sale at Stockmen's until next fall.
