An Ohio BEEF Cattle Letter analysis notes fed cattle prices have risen since spring, unlike their normal seasonal pattern, with prices up more than $6 per cwt since early October. Record beef exports and tighter feedlot supplies are cited as drivers.
Export levels remained over 20% above 2020 in September.
Tighter fed cattle supplies and strong export demand point to sustained upward pressure on live and feeder cattle prices. Feeder buyers should expect supportive values into 2022.
