# Cattle Crash on Trump’s Plan to Lower Beef Prices: Row Crops Rally

> AgWeb reports that live and feeder cattle futures gapped sharply lower on October 17 after Trump said his administration had a plan to lower beef prices. Some feeder contracts touched limit-down, and analysts attributed part of the move to algorithmic trades reacting to headlines. Speculation centered on Argentine beef imports and tariff cuts.
