Cattle feedlots rebound with herd surge in Reeves County
After a mid year slump, Reeves County five yards report cattle on feed over 80 000 and rising with full capacity. Pecos Feed Yards buck the trend as its numbers dwindle after a single owner went under. Nationwide, seven-state cattle on feed index rises 2 percent from 1974 aided by lower feeder cattle prices and a healthy fat market. Ranchers face break‑even costs around 33 35 cents per cow amid a shifting market.
