Cattle Prices Rise but Farmers Lose on Each Sale
USDA figures show cattle prices gaining but farmers still lose about 100 dollars per animal to meat packers. A 600 pound steer bought for 265 last May would fetch about 411 as a 1050 pound slaughter animal, yet production costs run about 49.44 per 100 pounds while market price was 39.15 per 100 pounds last month. Prospects to break even may come next spring if feed costs stabilize and cattle prices improve.
