A University of Missouri analyst said the USDA Cattle on Feed report points to more slaughter cattle this fall. He warned that larger runs could pressure cattle prices.
He also said resuming US beef exports to China by mid-July is critical for market access.
Expected larger fall slaughter supplies are bearish for cattle prices, while stalled China access limits demand for beef and pork. Together these factors weigh on livestock values into late 2017.
