Cattle prices have stayed strong in early 2025 after a price spike, with cattle futures reaching all-time highs in January before partly retreating when the US reopened its border to Mexican cattle. Feeder and live cattle futures resumed gains in late February, and sale barns reported holding firm demand.
Analysts expect continued strength as US beef inventories keep declining.
A shrinking beef herd and steady consumer demand support higher cattle prices, which raises feeder costs for buyers. Feeder cattle and live cattle futures are likely to stay firm while supplies remain tight.
