USDA Measures Seasonality In Cattle Market
Seasonal changes in cattle supplies and prices are smaller than in past years but follow similar patterns. The USDA report outlines month to month variations in production marketing and prices for cattle and beef cuts and explains factors such as calving, feed, long term trends, strikes and wars. Fed cattle marketings show little seasonal variation at 15 Midwestern markets while cow slaughter and prices swing seasonally due to costs in cow calf operations.
