# October Livestock Industry Situation Analysis for Meihekou City

> Meihekou’s October livestock report said hog supplies were ample and local hog prices remained low, with producers continuing to lose money despite a brief holiday demand boost. Cattle prices and profitability were firm, while egg prices retreated after an early-month peak and broiler production was near break-even or slightly unprofitable; high corn and soybean meal costs continued to weigh on livestock margins.

## Why it matters

Ample hog supplies and weak post-holiday demand point to continued pressure on hog prices, while falling egg prices and weak broiler returns reflect softer poultry-market conditions. High feed costs are squeezing producer margins, though the report does not indicate a new change in feed-ingredient prices.
