HARTINGTON — Being kicked when you’re already down is a feeling most local cattle feeders are experiencing these days. With a combination of a poor cattle market, high grain prices, and threats of drought, local experts agree times are tough, but this can’t last forever.
A spokesman from Yankton Livestock Market in Yankton said producers are dumping cattle as fast as they can get rid of them, since feed costs are so high.
“They are panic selling everything from 300 lbs. to 1,000 lbs. and just cleaning house. If you plan to sell today, you better bring your hanky,” said the spokesperson.
Cedar County Extension Educator Mike Lechner said he was most concerned for cow-calf operators, since the shortage of feed could become a real problem.
