Cash fed cattle prices were mostly $1 higher in the week ending December 6, 2019, with Southern Plains live cattle at $119/cwt and western Corn Belt at $118-119. Calf and feeder prices were supported by stronger fed cattle prices, though feeder futures closed about $1 lower week over week.
Firmer cash fed cattle and positive closeout margins support feeder cattle values into coming months, with analysts eyeing $120 cash as a threshold for spring optimism.
