Compared to last week steers sold unevenly steady and heifers sold 3.00 to 8.00 lower. Slaughter and feeding cows sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher
and bulls steady. Demand was moderate to good. Heavy supply of heifer calves and yearlings on offer this week. With drought conditions
continuing some ranchers sold there would be replacement heifers and are hoping they will have enough feed to keep there pairs another
year. It appears that most ranchers are not expanding their cow herd this coming up breeding season. Since the eastern half of the state is in
a D3 (extreme drought) and the western side is in a lesser drought conditions but still very dry. Snow pack released last Monday; state's
SNOTELs are reading 53% of median with a basin high of 97% and a basin low of 0%. Last year the state was at 98%, and at 97% in 2024. This
snowpack is directly related to the irrigation needs of all within the state.
