Iowa Farm Outlook: Cattle Prices Seen Steady Next Months
Iowa State University extension economist Gene Futrell expects fed cattle prices to stay within about a dollar of the mid January range for several months despite continued above year ago marketings. He notes January prices for choice steers at 28.50 to 29.50 per hundredweight and cites USDA data showing feedlot inventories up from a year ago. He predicts slower spring demand and limited near term gains, with prices holding near current levels and possible strength in the second half of the year above 28 per hundred and sometimes 30 to 32.

Winter farrowing pigs face higher disease risk and isolation
Dr. Maynard Spear of Iowa State University urges strict isolation and warm dry housing during winter farrowing to protect newborn pigs. Do not introduce new swine or allow other livestock or visitors into facilities to reduce infection risk. Poor housing and ventilation amplify problems, but proper management can mitigate most illnesses in piglets up to about three months old.
