Weekly Cattle Country Weather Report

This week, the new map shows that 62 percent of the U.S. cattle inventory is currently sitting in a drought area.

The Rain: The Gulf Coast took on a massive amount of water. Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama saw 4 to 6 inches of rain. Another band of rain moved from Texas up to the Northeast.

The Dry and Heat: The West stayed extremely dry and hot, with temperatures 5 to 15 degrees above normal. Texas hit 105 degrees. The Upper Mississippi Valley is facing extreme fire danger due to dry and windy conditions.

The Cold: The Northern Plains and Upper Midwest are still dealing with a late-spring chill, running 5 to 15 degrees below normal. Plan your week around these extreme splits in the weather.

Here is a Pasture, Range & Forage PRF
(the rainfall insurance) quote for some grazing ground in western Oklahoma. There’s a lot going on in this picture, but there’s a few key things to look at.

First is how often are claims triggered?
In the blue box you can see the years paid column. This is how many years out of 10 has this paid out? Jan & Feb have below average in rainfall 8 out of 10 years. This paid out on average 316% of the premium. Or X3.16.

You must select 4-12 months when creating a policy. The more months you choose, the lower the idemidty % will be. If you choose just a few months (4) your pay out isn’t pro rated through as many months not paying, and you receive a larger idemidty payment.

Last year in this example shown, the loss ration was 558%! The loss ration chart in the bottom right shows over the last 10 years, how this combination of months would have paid out.

PRF can be used on owned & leased/rented ground. Hay ground is higher valued than grazing acres. IT easy to get a quote, all I need is an address or a pin to get started. Prf enrollment is in December for the following year.

If you have questions, or wonder what the numbers would look like for your operation, give Wyatt Mohr a call @ 319-576-1807

CLARA LIVE 🏆 Why Does the May 2026 Feeder Cattle Contract Expire on the 21st Instead of the 28th? 🏆

The reason the May 2026 contract expires on May 21st instead of the 28th comes down to a specific "holiday buffer" rule designed to keep the market stable.

While the standard rule for Feeder Cattle is to expire on the last Thursday of the month, the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) includes a safety clause regarding holidays. Specifically, if the last Thursday—or any of the four weekdays leading up to it—is a bank holiday, the expiration is moved back by one full week.

🏆 The "Memorial Day" Factor 🏆

In 2026, Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 25th. Here is how that disrupts the schedule:

The Original Date: Thursday, May 28th would normally be the expiration.

The Conflict: Because Monday (May 25th) is a holiday, it falls within that critical "four-day" window prior to the 28th.

The Adjustment: To avoid having the market settle right after a three-day weekend when trading volume might be thin or unpredictable, the CME moves the entire expiration back to the preceding Thursday.

By shifting it to May 21st, the exchange ensures there is a full, uninterrupted week of trading leading up to the final cash settlement. This protection helps ensure that the final price—the one that affects your bottom line—is a true reflection of the market rather than a "hiccup" caused by a holiday weekend.
