sw MN | DTN analyst John Harrington pointed to dropping cattle carcass weights as a bullish sign. All cattle carcass weights as of Dec. 5 averaged 843 pounds, 8 pounds lighter than the prior week and 18 pounds greater than 2014. He said the Cattle on Feed Report set for release this afternoon should be positive— as November placement numbers are expected to keep fed numbers manageable through the first quarter of 2016. |
