U.S. live cattle futures fell $2.40–$3.60 and feeder cattle futures dropped about $2.92 to nearly $7.00. Lower wholesale beef prices and feeder-cattle index values added pressure, despite active cash trading and beef shipments reaching a 17-week high; weekly export sales were slightly below the prior week.
Lower beef values and futures selling point to softer near-term cattle prices, while strong shipments offer some support to demand. The report describes market movements and contributing sentiment rather than a new supply shock.
