LMIC estimates fed cattle breakeven prices in the $120s per cwt for the rest of 2017, implying projected feedlot losses. Steers placed in August or September are expected to breakeven at $118-$121 per cwt.
Feedlot losses limit how high feeder prices can rise, as feeders have already priced in expected profit, suggesting little additional upside in cash feeder cattle.
