Oklahoma National Stockyards cattle prices were lower on Monday after a sharp drop in cattle futures the previous week, though the market held up better than expected. Shorter-weaned yearlings and 60- to 90-day weaned cattle sold sharply lower on buyer concerns about sickness and changing weather, while longer yearlings sold well.
Buyer caution on lighter, shorter-weaned cattle signals weaker near-term feeder demand and softer prices for those weight classes, while the expected rebound suggests the pressure may be temporary.
