Iowa State University extension economist Gene Futrell says potential feeder cattle for the next several months is up about four percent from last year. Steers over 500 pounds not on feed on Jan 1 rose 4 percent, heifers over 500 pounds up 10 percent, and calves on hand but not on feed up 3 percent. Total of the three groups nearly four percent higher, signaling larger winter spring feedlot placements and extra heifer retention for herd expansion.
