It's been a tough go for cattle ranchers this year.

Ty Sears with Mesabi Ranches south of High River says a sale in a couple of weeks will give a better indication of where prices are at for the calf market...

"Feeder futures are reasonable, there are decent contracts out there. I think there is quite a bit of hesitancy in people's minds until we hit this next sale", he says.

He says last year enough people took a loss that they'll be more hesitant to spend a lot this time.
