Live and feeder cattle closed sharply lower on Monday October 23 at the CME, pressured by Friday's USDA On Feed report. December lives closed at $178.35 and November feeders at $235.80, while cash trade was quiet and auction feeder prices fell $4 to $8.
Bearish report-driven selling and lower auction prices point to weaker feeder cattle values, which reduces feedlot margins and near-term feed demand.
