# Can Feeder Cattle Recover?

> Cattle futures fell sharply last week, with live cattle down $6.90 and feeder cattle down $15.45, amid weaker cash trade. The report cites abundant market-ready cattle in the North, record carcass weights for this time of year and a slaughter-ready backlog; managed money also cut long positions in live and feeder cattle. It says hog prices face pressure from heavy weights, abundant availability and light demand.

## Why it matters

A backlog of finished cattle and heavier carcasses increase near-term beef supply and weaken packers’ urgency to bid, pressuring live and feeder cattle prices. Abundant hog supplies and soft demand are likewise bearish for hogs.
