Ames Economists Predict Cattle Prices Rise Four Weeks
Ames agricultural economists forecast a continued rise in cattle prices for the next four weeks due to smaller numbers of better grade cattle and below average year-end prospects. They expect steadier prices for better cattle after the new year and some increases for common and medium kinds, with lamb prices relatively steady but a sharp rise likely in February. Uncertainties include potential late marketings of jalf-fat cattle and varying feed conditions.
