December live cattle futures fell $10.17 on the week to close October 30, with the largest daily drops of $3.27 to $5.35 in a session tied to month-end selling and a weaker equity market. USDA data shows September feedlot placements at 88% of 2023 levels, pointing to tighter cattle supplies through 2027.
The weekly drop in live cattle futures reflects short-term positioning rather than a change in supply fundamentals. Constrained feedlot placements point to lower future marketings and firmer cattle prices over the coming year, which supports demand for feed.
