Cattle Price Fluctuations Seen Through December Says Economist
Economist Gene Futrell of Iowa State University Extension notes that higher cattle slaughter and heavier weights keep fed cattle prices weak through November and likely through December. He projects prices near current levels, then rising to 35 to 36 dollars per hundredweight by February and between 35 and 37 dollars from April to September. Futrell cites 8 to 10 percent higher fed cattle numbers year over year through early January and ongoing trims from cow and nonfed slaughter.
