Average cash fed cattle prices have been trading in a $224 to $228/cwt range after falling from $235/cwt in early August, and steer carcass weights hit a record 994 lb in the week of October 11. Live cattle futures fell $14 to $15/cwt in the latest week as boxed beef values weakened and supplies stayed heavy.
Record carcass weights and elevated boxed beef supplies signal heavy near-term beef output, which weighs on live cattle futures and reduces demand for feeder cattle and feed, while smaller fed supplies expected in early 2027 could support prices later.
