Cattle prices still have room to go up, said a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service expert. “These numbers will add to our supply of feeder cattle, but it won’t really depress prices. That’s because those cattle won’t become beef in the store until mid-2027. “We will have tighter supplies with good demand, and that’s a recipe for higher prices,” Anderson said.
