Cattle trade has been decent this week, with early steady cash activity out of the South, while the North might wait until Friday to finalize deals. On this week’s Cattle Call, Brad Kooima with Kooima Kooima Varilek examines the factors influencing the trade.

Additionally, external pressures from the stock market and fluctuations in the corn market are adding to the challenges faced by cattle producers.
