Feeder cattle futures fell sharply on October 30, 2026, with January feeder cattle down $5.63 to $336.33 per cwt in early trade. December live cattle dropped $2.83 to $223.48 and December crude oil rose $1.85 to $103.85 per barrel.
Lower cattle futures reflect weaker demand sentiment and reduce the value of cattle relative to feed costs, while higher crude prices add to energy and freight costs.
