Cattle futures fell sharply on Friday October 30, with some deferred feeder contracts briefly hitting limit-down. Cash cattle traded below 220.00 to 218.00 after peaking at 230.00 earlier that week.
Month-end profit taking, midterm election jitters and a broader equity selloff added to the pressure.
Lower live cattle and feeder prices reduce the value of cattle on feed and can weigh on feedlot and feeder demand for feed rations. The move is driven by market sentiment and positioning rather than new supply news.
