The old saying “when county fairs come around, so does the seasonal drop in the cattle market” rings true this year. On this week’s Cattle Call, Brad Kooima with Kooima Kooima Varilek examines the early steady trade in the south that is setting the tone for the week. He discusses the steep discount in the trade and whether the pressure will come from the cattle on feed report. Additionally, word from the USDA is that the July Cattle Inventory report will not be released. Brad explores what this means for producers moving forward and how they might need to adjust their strategies without this critical data.
