The National Feeder and Stocker Cattle report for November 20, 2023 showed receipts of 343,800 head, down from the prior week and last year, with steers and heifers selling 2 to 6 dollars lower. Feeder futures regained about 40% of prior losses after a sell-off, and buyers favored healthy, vaccinated calves.
The Cattle on Feed report was described as neutral.
Lower feeder calf prices and selective buying reduce feeder cattle values, while the neutral on-feed data offers no strong directional catalyst. Buyers of feed should note calf market softness as a sign of reduced near-term feedlot demand.
