Farm economist Francis A. Kutish of Iowa State College says a seasonal price rise in higher grade cattle is possible if it develops in the next four weeks but will not mirror last year due to many cattle heading for market. Feeder cattle contracting is slow. market prices slipped $1 to $2 in the heat and have since rebounded about half the decline.
