Feeder cattle futures have backed off since October, but KRose Company owner Karoline Rose has seen prices hold this fall at production sales. If the weather cooperates, a strong replacement and seedstock market is expected through the spring. “We have to get some more cattle into production,” said Rose. “I just think the seedstock business is going to be strong this spring.” Rose expects higher demand for females if the drought situation eases. There have been fewer bulls hitting the seedstock market. Rose said that may mean producers are being more selective about their genetics. She also warns both buyers and sellers to beware of bulls that should be steers.
