Little softer undertone was noted on bred cows and heifers. Demand was moderate to good throughout the week. Cattlemen continue to have optimism that mother nature will bring much needed rain across state for pastures to green up and grow for summer grazing. On the bright side, higher elevations have been receiving snow. When this snowpack melts it’s what replenishes reservoirs for summer irrigation needs.Supply included: 71% Feeder Cattle (61% Steers, 39% Heifers); 13% Slaughter Cattle (91% Cows, 9% Bulls); 17% Replacement Cattle (18% Stock Cows, 52% Bred Cows, 30% Bred Heifers, 0% Cow-Calf Pairs).
