Only one reported feeder cattle auction in the state last week and it was the 75th anniversary at Ogallala Livestock market. Very large supply of weaned fall calves and feeder cattle. Majority of the receipts would have been placed on summer grazing and sold later on a summer video sale or through the livestock market. But, with the drought, recent fires and shortages of baled feed cattlemen opted to sell these cattle to hopefully have enough feed for the cow/calf pairs still on the ranch. Some ranchers are selling late bred cows and older cow/calf pairs hoping they can keep the heart of their mother cows on the ranch. Feedlot dressed sales sold steady at 405.00 and live sales sold steady to 1.00 lower from 255.00 to 256.00.
