Not enough comparable sales on yearlings for a market trend. Quality was mostly plain, but recent rains and a good start to the winter wheat crop seems to have buyers feeling optimistic and in need of feeders to turn out. As a result, trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Slaughter cows sold mostly weak to 1.00 lower.",

   "comment": "What a difference late rains and unseasonably warm temperatures can do to an outlook. Wheat is starting to pop around the area bringing wheat calves to the forefront. Due to the short run last week, there were few comparable sales on steer and heifer calves to state a trend, but demand was definitely higher. Particularly on healthy, weaned, thin fleshed steers. Feeder steers weighing 750- 850 brought 7.00-15.00 higher and 900 pounders up 19.00. Feeders heifers seemed mixed on no comparable sales. The slaughter cattle sale consisted largely of droughty, open, beef cows of all ages. Average to high yielding cows sold mostly steady to a tick lower. No test on bulls.",

Five-weight steer calves brought about 380 to 430 dollars a hundred this week, topping out at Dalhart, higher than the last sale at 3 of seven area barns. The Cownty five-weight index, all seven barns averaged by head, came in at 407 dollars a hundred, down 4 dollars from last week. On the drought map, severe drought eased in 11 of our 49 counties and grew in none. All 49 of our counties are on this year's Livestock Forage Disaster Program list, and applications are due March first at your county FSA office. Texas's nearest New World screwworm zone is about 296 miles from Amarillo. Barn-by-barn prices and county drought maps are free at cownty dot com.",

Compared with each barn's previous sale, the 5-weight steer average was higher at 3 barns and lower at 4. The seven sales reported 19,284 head in total.",
  "USDA's market reporter at Dalhart noted: \"What a difference late rains and unseasonably warm temperatures can do to an outlook. Wheat is starting to pop around the area bringing wheat calves to the forefront.\"",
  "On the U.S. Drought Monitor map dated Oct 13, 32 of the region's 49 counties had some severe drought (D2) or worse, and 20 had it across most of the county. Severe-or-worse coverage shrank by at least 5 points in 11 counties, including Dallam (TX), Hartley (TX), Moore (TX), Hutchinson (TX) and 7 more, and grew that much in none.",
