Brutal dryness continues across the trade area and ranchers and cattlemen have made a tough decision to start selling off the older cow/calf pairs and some bred cows. Pasture and range conditions for this week per NASS in Nebraska is at 79% poor to very poor, WY at 70% and SD comes in at 42%. However, the SW corner of of South Dakota is in a extreme drought category. Quite a few of the lots of cattle are going to out of state buyers as those states are improving their genetic base and have some green grass for grazing. Nice crowd of buyers on the seats along with active internet buying. --------------------------------------------------------------- REPLACEMENT CATTLE --------------------------------------------------------------- BRED COWS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Unit/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 8 1212-1212 1212 3650-3650 3650 10 1569-1569 1569 3575-3575 3575 Broken Mouth 5 1595-1595 1595 3685-3685 3685 BRED COWS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Unit/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 35 1338-1464 1424 3350-3600 3488.15 Broken Mouth 12 1413-1472 1443 3850-4100 3977.56 15 1402-1666 1543 3400-3850 3659.17 47 1518-1618 1549 3650-3960 3730.91 BRED COWS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Unit/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 19 1351-1462 1407 3150-3400 3260.89 Broken Mouth 5 1453-1453 1453 3400-3400 3400 BRED HEIFERS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Unit/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 5 1162-1162 1162 3650-3650 3650 COW-CALF PAIRS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Unit/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 160 1357-1700 1489 3700-4025 3919.51 Broken Mouth O 390 1308-1800 1509 4050-4450 4295.65 O 38 1482-1617 1571 4900-5285 5024.26 O 169 1418-1765 1629 4500-4900 4720.82 O 32 1718-1718 1718 5200-5200 5200 O COW-CALF PAIRS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Unit/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 13 1266-1266 1266 4375-4375 4375 O 32 1388-1569 1460 3600-4000 3834.01 Broken Mouth O 38 1420-1568 1487 4050-4300 4180.52 O COW-CALF PAIRS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Unit/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 10 1570-1570 1570 4450-4450 4450 O 8 1648-1648 1648 4400-4400 4400 Broken Mouth O 9 1655-1655 1655 4900-4900 4900 O COW-CALF PAIRS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Unit/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 12 1299-1299 1299 4750-4750 4750 O 5 1593-1593 1593 4150-4150 4150 O COW-CALF PAIRS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Unit/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 6 1250-1250 1250 4750-4750 4750 O 5 1354-1354 1354 3200-3200 3200 Broken Mouth O HEIFER PAIRS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Unit/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 24 1163-1163 1163 5250-5250 5250 O
