Live and feeder cattle closed sharply lower on Thursday October 19 ahead of Friday's On Feed report, after a very bearish Export Sales report. December lives fell $1.90 to $185.30 and November feeders fell $5.22 to $244.50.
Sharp cattle futures declines ahead of the USDA report lower the value of feeder animals and signal reduced near-term feed-buying expectations.
