Summary

When planning to market cattle, there are many factors a producer needs to take into account, one of which is the seasonal price pattern for the cattle to be marketed. Having an understanding of the historical monthly highs and lows can greatly impact returns, especially in the short-term. A producer can use the historical price patterns to decide whether to sell now or at a later date after the cattle have added some weight.
