Montana feeder cattle prices fell across most weight classes during Nov. 1–7 as feeder futures dropped sharply and buyers reduced bids.
Rain left auction yards muddy, raised concerns about cattle condition and health, and led to shipping difficulties and numerous sale cancellations; feeder receipts were well below the year-earlier level.
Lower futures and weaker buying interest pressure feeder cattle prices, while weather-related shipping disruptions constrain the number of cattle reaching auctions. Reduced feeder availability may partly offset the downward price pressure.
