> Live and feeder cattle futures gapped higher to all-time and contract highs on Monday after USDA's Cattle on Feed and Cattle Inventory reports. The on-feed number was the lowest in eight years and July placements were the lowest in 16 years, while the cattle inventory was below July 2023 levels across major categories.

## Why it matters

Tight cattle supplies and weak placements point to firmer feeder and fed cattle prices, which raises the cost of cattle-based feed demand and signals lower future feedlot throughput.
