The Kimball Livestock Exchange was experiencing record livestock sales because cattle producers to not have sufficient feed and pasture for their herds. Some producers were travelling a distance to sell in Kimball, and some cattle were sold to out-of-state buyers.
Cattle for sale were younger than would be expected as no feed and depleted or deteriorating water supplies force ranchers to make painful decisions.
