Live cattle futures fell $1.55 to $2.67 and feeder futures fell $2.80 to $4.35 on Tuesday as cash trade started the week quietly at lower prices, with USDA reporting $340 dressed and $215 live. The CME Feeder Cattle Index dropped $1.68 to $348.78, and the weekly OKC feeder auction saw lower prices.
Lower cash cattle and weaker feeder prices reduce the value of cattle inputs for feedlots and signal softer demand for feed grains used in finishing, though the moves are routine daily price action.
