More cattle are being sold in the Abilene area, due to drought and the lack of hay and water. At the Coleman Livestock Auction, a line of ranchers with cattle to sell looped around the building at noon the day before the sale. At least 2,000 cattle had been tagged for the sale.
A sale in Graham moved 4,400 head of cattle during a marathon sale that began Monday and ended Tuesday. At 8 a.m.
Some people were noting that conditions were reminiscent of the 2011 drought.
