The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service released its weekly meat and poultry bundle on November 13, 2026. It included federal slaughter estimates for the week ending November 7 showing 534,000 cattle, and final slaughter totals for October 25 to 31 showing 546,558 cattle and 2,610,866 hogs.
Weekly slaughter pace and carcass output indicate near-term meat supply, which feeds into the cost and availability of meat-based feed ingredients. The report itself carries no new shock, so its price effect is limited.
