Fed Cattle Prices Rise As Slaughter Drops Amid Good Prospects

Iowa State extension economist Gene Futrell notes improved fed cattle prices driven by smaller slaughter and fewer cattle on feed. Prices rose 3 to 4 dollars per hundredweight in early April with Iowa and Southern Minnesota quotes around 40.50 to 41.50, 3 to 4 dollars above Q1. Futrell cites lower first quarter nonfed marketings and overall federally inspected slaughter about 6 percent below Jan-Feb levels, forecasting further strength into late spring and summer with potential mid-40s for prices in the third quarter if moisture supports pastures and crops. He warns against overeager feeder cattle bidding as margins could stay tight if feeder costs rise.
