Cattle markets are seeing strength after backing off from recent record highs. Perham Stockyards owner Mitch Barthel expects this upswing to continue for a while. “This calf market should stay very strong outside of some sort of black swan event at least for two years.” The weather and corn markets are impacting the rebuilding of cattle herds. “When you get a higher corn market, you get less pounds on your fed cattle and less cows around because there’s less grass and feed.”
