Positive outlook for cattle industry

By Farms.com

In recent market reports, the cattle industry is witnessing a surge in prices, buoyed by favorable conditions and strong demand. With good moisture levels and high cattle prices, industry insiders are expressing confidence in the market outlook.

At various auctions, including the Oklahoma National Stockyards, there has been a noticeable uptick in market strength. Cattle prices have seen a steady rise, with feeders experiencing significant gains. The abundance of good grass and full ponds in many areas contributes to the optimism within the industry.

Industry experts highlight the quality of cattle coming to auctions, particularly those from wheat-fed sources. The success of wheat production this year has translated into higher-quality cattle, further driving market positivity.

Looking ahead, auctions in Woodward and Comanche anticipate good runs for the week. Despite a pause in sales at the Oklahoma National Stockyards on specific days, auctions in other locations continue unaffected.

The cattle industry is experiencing a positive trajectory, with market conditions favoring both buyers and sellers. The combination of good moisture, ample grass, and high prices creates an optimistic atmosphere, fueling confidence in the industry's future.

Video: Caught In A Time-Loop: Bottle Feeding Lambs!

In today's vlog at Ewetopia Farms, we find ourselves stuck in a time loop where each day is a repetition of the last as we care for our bottle-fed lambs. The Coverall is bustling with young Suffolk lambs eagerly drinking from their bottle holders, showcasing the sheer number of lambs we are nurturing. Despite the time-consuming process of preparing formula, feeding, and cleaning, the lambs gulp it down in seconds. With three feedings daily, the workload is overwhelming, but soon, we will transition to twice a day feedings for more manageable routines. Amidst the chaos, we managed to give the older Suffolk lambs some playtime in the yard, allowing us a moment to relax and appreciate these adorable creatures.
