No comparisons to make last USDA sale at Stockmen's was 2 weeks ago. The undertones of the feeder cattle market were steady with 2 weeks ago. The sale demand was very good. The market continues to be active. The flesh condition was attractive with a majority of the feeder cattle carrying a green flesh condition. The sale had a few replacement heifers in the offering. The Dickinson, ND area continues to be experiencing a drought. The rainmaker last week tracked to the east and the south. KFYR News at Bismarck is calling for a potential rainmaker for the end of next week. The Dickinson, ND area is looking at temperatures in the 90 degree range this weekend. 90 degree temperatures are unseasonable for this time of the year. The next USDA reported sale at Stockmen's will be May 22.
