Live cattle futures fell $2.40–$3.60 and feeder cattle futures dropped $2.92–$6.97, amid weakness in equities and pressure from cash-market trading. Cash cattle traded at $218 in the South and $214–$216 in the North; beef export sales were slightly lower week over week, while shipments reached a 17-week high.
The futures decline reflects softer equity-market sentiment and cash-price pressure, while strong shipments offer some counterweight from export demand. Lower cattle futures imply weaker near-term prices for live and feeder cattle.
