# Dr. Derrell Peel: Cattle Market Fundamentals Remain Strong Heading Into 2027

> Oklahoma State livestock specialist Derrell Peel said cattle prices remain supported by tight supplies despite greater market volatility in the second half of 2026. He expects U.S. beef production to fall by about 4.5% in 2026, with higher carcass weights partly offsetting lower slaughter as producers consider whether to rebuild herds.
