Farm Outlook: Beef Market Pressures From Rising Cattle on Feed

Slaughter this year up 12 percent overall. high volume and heavy weights push prices down. Lighter cattle under 700 pounds declined, while 700 to 900 pound stocks remain high, limiting price strength through summer. Prices for mid year are forecast near last year, with May to June levels close to 1963.
