# Cattle and beef markets looking for summer direction: Peel

> Oklahoma State extension economist Derrell Peel reports that fed and feeder cash cattle markets jumped sharply the prior week after several weeks of pressure. He notes excess water and flooding in Nebraska and delayed haying in other regions. Corn is expected to be higher on a smaller crop, though the size of the reduction remains uncertain.

## Why it matters

Expected higher corn prices from a smaller crop raise feeding costs, which weigh on cattle values. Flooding and delayed haying also tighten forage supplies for cattle producers.
