Cattle markets turned lower after mid-October highs as political comments, including Trump saying beef prices are too high, talk of expanded Argentine imports, and speculation about reopening the Mexican border, triggered selling. December live cattle are about $30/cwt below the mid-October peak and feeders are off more than $60/cwt, while cash cattle are holding steady.
Retail beef has stayed near record levels, with pork up 8% and chicken up 10% year over year.
Trade speculation about imports and border reopening raises expected beef supply, pressuring feeder and live cattle futures even though underlying fed cattle supplies remain tight. Competing proteins remain strong, which supports demand for feed inputs.
