An analysis of Texas corn prices and Georgia cattle prices finds that corn costs and feeder cattle prices generally move inversely. Georgia 500-600 lb feeder steers were around $305/cwt in early June and are expected to stay flat to lower into fall.
Flat corn prices have been supportive for feeder values, but any rise in corn would pressure what feedlots can pay for feeders, a key point for feed buyers tracking the feed-to-cattle margin.
