If it happens to rain this weekend, like we're promised it will, it will have a bigger effect on people holding on to their cattle so to speak, and selling them at a later time when they weigh more. They're kind of forced to sell them now, because they don't have anything for them to eat. |
Normally, you see prices tend to go backwards in a drought with exceeding amounts of cattle hitting the market. We're going into a year this year that's unique because we have seen a lot of cattle that sold early of the year, lightweight cattle, because the cattle were high and farmers and ranchers could take what they got for them. |
The hay has gotten so high that everybody needs it, they want it. A lot of people can't even get hay. |
