9/24/26 Cattle Chatter: Waiting on Cash as the Market Goes Blah

The cattle market has been all over the board this week, but as the week winds down, the trade has taken on a bit of a blah feel—much like the rainy Midwest weather. On this week’s Cattle Chatter, Joe Kooima of Kooima Kooima Varilek breaks down the biggest questions facing the market: Where’s the cash? Some bids are on the table in the North, but the South remains quiet. Beef export talk: Discussion surrounding a possible beef export ban quickly met pushback, adding another headline for the market to digest. Technical trade: Joe takes an in-depth look at this week’s technical moves and what the charts are telling cattle traders. The market is waiting on cash, watching the headlines and looking for direction. Will cattle find enough support to push back into the green—or does the blah feeling continue?
