Strength in Local Cattle Markets

There’s still plenty of good news in the cattle market. “It looks like the forecast is looking pretty good on the calf market. I think after the first of the year there’s going to be less cattle around on feed in this area, so I do think that there will be a premium on these calves,” said John Fischer, co-owner, Stockmen’s Livestock Exchange, Dickinson, North Dakota. The calves have been coming in a bit lighter than expected, but are still seeing elevated prices.
