Cattle Producers of Louisiana
The “toe” of the boot of Louisiana got stepped on hard by hurricane IDA.
Our prayers go out to them and to all those affected in the state. The “fat” cattle market showed signs of improvement in mid-August, however, as we got closer to Labor Day (the last big beef event until Christmas) the packers again decided to increase their profits and reduce their prices for live cattle coming out of the feedlots.
