Farm Outlook on Cattle Markets by Kossuth Extension
ISU economist Francis A. Kutish notes a surge in cow marketing last month, lowering utility beef prices while fat cattle prices rise. In Omaha, utility cows sold 9.25 to 10.75, canners 7.50 to 9.00. Grain-fed supplies are expected to fall in 60 to 90 days, boosting margins and encouraging early short feeding.

Kutish Advises On Hog And Lamb Market Weights
Kutish says pork holdings are near last year and will curb any summer price rise as hogs can be carried to about 220 pounds. In early August Sioux City buyers prefer hogs weighing 225 to 240 pounds. He notes price spurts but sees little chance of a sustained decline for holding hogs. Lambs seasonally weak. spread between good and choice prices wide. Farmers should sell finishing lambs now and push others to finish quickly.
