Feeder Cattle Prospects For Fall Stronger Yet
Cattle feeders can expect a normal seasonal rise with main movement starting in September and piling in heavy through October and November. Beresford reports good range feed so cattle will be in ready condition when they enter Iowa feedlots. Calf numbers may be up slightly with similar yearling feeders, while 2 to 3 year olds are down and fetch higher prices. Prices remain above last year but gains will rely on flesh rather than price spikes amid uncertain corn and price ceilings.
