Beef Markets To Weaken In The Second Half Of Year
A Texas Agricultural Extension Service livestock marketing specialist says beef markets will weaken in the second half of the year with fed and feeder cattle prices hitting lows in September or October. Prices may drop as consumer and retailer resistance appears. Beef production falls about two percent in Q3, while overall meat supplies rise roughly three percent due to more pork, broilers and turkeys.
