Feeder cattle prices remain low in Iowa markets
Iowa State University economist Gene Putrell warns ongoing low feeder prices may curb beef herd expansion this summer and fall. He notes cheaper feed could raise cow slaughter and push substitution of older cows with younger stock, while economists urge aligning beef cow herds with population to improve profits. Utility cow prices run about two dollars lower than a year ago.
