The fall cattle run is hitting its peak across the Northern Plains. Perham Stockyards owner Mitch Barthel says cattle movement is strong as harvest wraps up. “The biggest weeks are right now, the end of October through November, December.” Barthel expects a volatile market through the balance of the year. “We usually see some historic weigh-up cow lows around Thanksgiving,” said Barthel. “We normally see this market pick up once we get our Minnesota North Dakota concrete.”
