When Beef Demand Starts Moving Stronger Again- Tight Supplies Will Help Cattle Prices Rise

When Beef Demand Starts Moving Stronger Again- Tight Supplies Will Help Cattle Prices Rise


Beef Demand kept cash cattle prices as much as ten dollars per hundredweight lower than they might have been in 2009. That was one of the take home messages from Randy Blach, CEO of Cattlefax, as the market analysis arm of the cattle industry presented their annual market outlook session during the Cattle Industry Convention in San Antonio this past Friday morning.


Blach and his Cattlefax team believe that beef demand has stabilized in recent months- and between improvements in domestic beef demand- and some growth in the export arena, cattle prices could jump higher as this works with a smaller cattle herd and tighter supplies of beef. Blach told the Outlook crowd that this may be the time to consider holding back a few more heifers or hold onto your mature cows for an extra season or two to edge your calf production higher in the next couple of calving seasons.


These comments from Randy Blach came as he wrapped up the Cattlefax seminar this past Friday morning- and you can hear his wrapup in full by clicking here for our story from the weekend of the Cattlefax event in San Antonio.
