Iowa farm outlook says fed cattle prices may hold next 4 to 8 weeks
Bob Wisner, Extension economist at Iowa State University, predicts fed cattle prices will hold near recent levels for four to eight weeks despite higher marketings and more cattle on feed. He notes 1969 nine month beef output rose little due to fewer slaughtered nonfed cattle and lighter finished weights, with feedlot numbers up across six states.

Ventilating feedshelter doors cut wind shock for cattle
H L Self of Iowa State University advises adjusting north side ventilating doors to diffuse cold winds. by opening doors partly toward the roof, wind is diverted upward mixing with warmer moist air to lower humidity and reduce direct icy blasts. A straight through wind worsens cold stress, as a 15 mph wind can lower 20F to 5F equivalent.
