The USDA AMS released a weekly beef market data bundle dated November 13, 2026, covering boxed beef cutout values, cattle and beef summary rows, tallow and hide prices, and negotiated sales. Estimated cattle slaughter for the week was 545,000 head, up from 534,000 the previous week.
Slaughter rising week over week adds beef supply, which can soften cattle and cutout values, though the bundle itself is a routine data compilation with no new shock.
After 44 past neutral report events, Feeder Cattle moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (59% higher; middle half -0.9% to +1.0%), and +0.5% over 20.
