USDA AMS released weekly slaughter estimates for the week ending November 7, 2026, showing total weekly slaughter of 534,000 head. The report also covers boxed beef, pork and poultry cutout values.
Routine slaughter data shows steady throughput with no new shock, so the effect on feed demand and livestock prices is limited.
