# U.S. livestock: Warming weather, easing feed costs spur rallies - Manitoba Co-operator

> CME feeder cattle futures rebounded as traders hoped feed costs would stay under pressure after reports that US buyers were importing Brazilian corn. USDA reported US planting well behind pace after repeated rain. Brazil's temporary halt of beef exports to China after a BSE case was seen as a knee-jerk reaction.

## Why it matters

Brazilian corn purchases by US buyers can cap domestic corn rallies tied to planting delays, which helps feed costs. Flooding-related planting delays point to upward pressure on corn, while the BSE case adds uncertainty for beef trade.
