Cattle Markets In Pretty Good Shape Right Now- So Says OSU Livestock Market Economist Derrell Peel

Two months into 2017, the cattle market has been relatively tranquil, and has allowed feedlots to actually see their best profits in quite some time. Radio Oklahoma Ag Network Farm Director Ron Hays sat down this past Friday in Ardmore and talked about the cattle markets with Oklahoma State University Extension Livestock Market Economist Dr. Derrell Peel.

Hays and Peel looked at the markets thus far in 2017, the status of the wheat pasture grazing this winter and what he believes we learned from the January first Cattle Inventory Report, as it relates to the beef cow numbers this year and how much we might grow the cattle herd in 2017.
