Pastures in Dewey County were depleted and short; a pond was low and held a little stagnant water; and ranchers were thinning herds. The Belle Fourche Livestock Market sale barn sold 3,400 head of cattle in the last week of June 2021, more than 10 times the roughly 300 cattle sold in the last week of June 2020.
