Has Demand Wall Been Hit? 10/16/25 Cattle Chatter

Is the cattle market overbought? That’s the big question this week as feeder cattle showed strength for much of the trade, while markets wait for the cash to fully develop. On this week’s Cattle Chatter, powered by John Deere, Brad Kooima with Kooima Kooima Varilek breaks down whether the demand wall has been hit and if upcoming holiday buying could lend support heading into November. He also touches on continued frustration over the government shutdown, renewed discussions about the New World Screwworm, and an interesting connection between the gold and cattle markets.
