After a hot, dry July, feed crops, like hay, corn silage, oats and more, for livestock were severely limited, especially in the middle of the state. Without moisture, ranchers cannot plant a fall cover crop for grazing, leaving ranchers searching for feed supplies.
As a result, cattle sales were up.
