Feeder cattle seen as summer pasture option in Corn Belt
Iowa State economist Gene Futrell says buying feeder cattle for summer pasture could be favorable for Corn Belt farmers due to lower feeder prices and better moisture. He notes drops in stocker and feeder prices since March and expects late summer and fall prices to be near current levels, with potential gains for cow-calf operations. Domestic market factors include high beef production, lower-quality beef mix rising, and modest early summer price recovery for fed cattle.
