Wisconsin is accepting applications for meat processor grants of up to $50,000, with applications due January 14, 2022. The update also notes the Cattle on Feed report showed October 1 feedlot inventory at 11.6 million head, 1% below last year, and September placements 3% lower.
Smaller cattle on feed numbers point to tighter feedlot supplies and modestly reduced feed grain demand from the cattle sector.
After 268 past bullish report events, Live Cattle moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -0.7% to +1.4%), and +1.7% over 20.
After 227 past bullish report events, Feeder Cattle moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.2% to +1.5%), and +1.1% over 20.
