Live cattle futures gained $2.22–$3.62 on Tuesday, extending Monday’s rally, while feeder cattle futures rose $2–$4.45. Cash trade had not yet developed for the week; boxed beef prices were mixed, and Tuesday cattle slaughter was higher than the prior week but below the same week last year.
The futures rally signals firmer cattle price expectations, while lower year-on-year slaughter may constrain beef supply. Mixed wholesale prices and the absence of cash trade leave the demand signal uncertain.
