The USDA’s November 10 report put the cutter cow cutout at $296.69 per 100 pounds, up $0.33 from the prior day. The report also listed negotiated sales volumes and prices for several cow-beef cuts, with a number of individual lean-cut values slightly lower.
The small daily increase indicates modestly firmer cutter-cow beef values, which may support returns for cow processors and influence cull-cow market incentives. The move is too small and narrow to imply a major change in feed demand or livestock prices.
After 268 past bullish report events, Live Cattle moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -0.7% to +1.4%), and +1.7% over 20.
