Nebraska cattle outlook hints more corn feeding ahead
Indications that Nebraska farmers will feed more corn to cattle this year come from state and federal agricultural statistics. Stocker and feeder cattle shipments into Nebraska from July 1 to December 1 rose 20 percent year over year, while South Dakota and Minnesota show gains and other corn belt states reduce feeding. November market receipts were the smallest in years, at 79 percent of the prior year and 69 percent of the five year average, signaling a tighter supply of finished cattle early in 1931.
