Oklahoma State extension specialist Derrell Peel said feeder and fed cattle markets were in a summer lull ahead of Labor Day. He expects pronounced initial reactions to the Tyson plant fire in Kansas, which lost about 4-5% of U.S. slaughter capacity.

Reduced slaughter capacity will tighten boxed beef supply and shift cattle flows to other plants. This points to lower cash and feeder cattle prices until capacity is restored.
