The USDA raised its 2016 US beef production forecast to 25.14 billion pounds, up 6.1% on 2015, due to faster slaughter pace. Cattle placements on feedlots fell 2% in September and 5% in October, and the 2017 beef production forecast was revised.
Higher US beef output pressures import demand and lowers cattle prices, which reduces feedlot activity and feed grain demand. Lower placements tighten near-term feedlot demand for feed.
