Cattle futures fell sharply early Friday, with live-cattle and feeder-cattle contracts testing or breaking September lows before stabilizing. Cash cattle prices and the feeder-cattle index also weakened, while packers slowed slaughter after three weeks above 540,000 head; carcass weights remained at record highs and supplies were described as tight.
Lower futures and cash prices point to near-term pressure on cattle markets. Tight supplies may offer support, while heavy carcass weights and slower slaughter affect packers’ near-term procurement needs.
