# Huge Volumes of Cash Cattle Traded in Last Two Weeks

> Cash cattle volumes were strong in late April, with 135,487 head traded in the week ending April 29, the largest since summer 2020. Analysts expect the cash market to turn seasonally lower as calf-fed cattle supplies become available to packers. Rain and wet forecasts sent corn and soybean futures sharply lower on May 2.
