Cattle Price Outlook Mixed Despite Washed-Through USDA Report
ISU economist Gene Farrell notes the January 1 cattle on feed total of 11.9 million head in 23 states is down 3 percent from a year earlier but still 24 percent above January 1, 1975. He forecasts weaker slaughter this year with grass and crop prospects shaping later totals. Futrell sees limited near term gains, possible mid to high $30s for first quarter prices and mid-40s for summer, depending on moisture and non-fed marketings.
