Fed cattle: tighter supplies in Texas and Colorado shift demand north

This will be an important week for finding the negotiating strengths of the parties, said The AG Center about cattle operations in the present week. First comes the show list size then the regional positions. Declines of fed cattle numbers in both Texas and Colorado will encourage more movements from Nebraska and Iowa. Kansas will always be a pivot state but pulling cattle out of Texas for the beef plants in southern Kansas will become more difficult, The AG Center said.
