# Factors Influencing Cattle Market Performance and Price Trends - Beef Web

> Beef Web reports that cattle markets have not reached new record highs, citing a 20.87% rise in beef imports January through August, mainly from Brazil paying US tariffs, and higher feeder cattle and slaughter-animal imports from Mexico. Beef exports to China fell, and the strong dollar weighed on export demand.

## Why it matters
