CME live cattle and feeder cattle futures closed higher on November 13, 2026, with December live cattle up $1.75 at $220.65 and January feeder cattle up $3.67 at $335.35. Dressed cash cattle trades in Nebraska were around $335, about $5 lower than the prior week, and Missouri alfalfa hay prices were steady to firm with feeding demand underway.
Higher cattle futures and firm hay prices raise the cost of ruminant feed and point to stronger demand for alfalfa and grass hay. Feeder buyers face higher input costs while the cattle complex remains supported.
