Elevator dropping on cattle prices | 2/12/25 Cattle Call

The cattle market has dropped $11—does this signal the start of a sharp downturn? On this week's *Cattle Call*, Brad Kooima of Kooima Kooima & Varilek breaks down the cash market movement, including Monday’s buys out of Oklahoma and other regions in the South and North. Some believe packers may gain the upper hand in bidding as full pens put pressure on sellers. Meanwhile, Midwest weather could bring minor weight concerns, but it’s not expected to be a major market mover. As the week unfolds, all eyes will be on whether this decline continues or if the market finds stability.
