# Cow-Calf Corner | April 29, 2024 | Oklahoma State University

> Oklahoma State extension says cattle futures and cash markets have largely recovered from the April dairy cattle avian influenza scare, now called Bovine Influenza A. Steer calf prices bounced off recent lows but may move sideways before rising later in the year. Oklahoma drought coverage jumped from about 34% to 66%, which could weigh on summer stocker demand.

## Why it matters

Sideways calf prices and drought-driven grazing concerns could temper stocker demand near term. The broader cattle uptrend still points to firmer feeder prices later in 2024.
