Texas Cattle In Peak Condition As July Report Ranges Fortunes
The U S Department of Agriculture marketing service said Texas cattle on August 1 were ten points above the ten year average with 02 percent condition, while ranges were mid to good and cattle gains continued. Sheep fell four points to 35 percent of normal, with feed ample but vegetation too rank for sheep and heavy insect infestation requiring drenching. Prices remained high and demand good though activity was light, as ranchers weighed selling versus holding breeding stock amid abundant range feeds and restocking plans.
