Live cattle futures fell an average of 92 cents and feeder cattle futures fell $2.05 on Friday, while negotiated cash cattle prices declined across major U.S. regions during the week. Choice boxed beef was down week over week, and estimated cattle slaughter and beef production year to date remained below year-earlier levels.
Lower cash cattle and futures prices indicate near-term pressure on cattle values. The smaller year-to-date slaughter and beef production totals point to tighter beef supply, which may limit that downside.
