Optimism in Livestock Markets Amid Low Feed Costs
Livestock markets show a hopeful tone as feed prices drop faster than livestock values. Demand for breeding ewes remains cautious though some buyers seek bargains. Good ewes cost 4 to 6 dollars, with 5 dollars seen as a fair investment. A 70 pound lamb could yield about 4.20 dollars plus potential wool value. Brood sows and feeder pigs attract interest as quality livestock gains appreciation. Producers with vision view current prices as an opportunity to improve herds at lower costs, betting that ultra low prices will end soon.
