December Live Cattle futures fell $10.17 to $220.95 for the week, with weak weekly export sales of 11,000 metric tons adding pressure. January Feeder Cattle dropped $13.57, briefly hitting limit down, and December Lean Hogs fell for a fourth straight week to $58.85.
Weak export demand and broad volatility are pushing livestock prices lower, which lowers the value of animals and signals softer demand for feed going into finishing operations.
