v 2.4.3.0

Many Kansas ranchers, particularly in the southern and western parts of the state, were selling more cattle than usual to avoid having to feed them through the winter. In El Dorado, the auction owner and operator stated that most of the cow-calf operations were culling many animals like the older or less productive cows. Input costs for feed and hay were high, and drought has left pasture grass short. Hay prices were two to three times the normal price. KWCH 12 (Wichita, Kan.), Nov 30, 2022
