The USDA Cattle on Feed report showed 11.6 million head on feed on May 1, 2018, up 5% from a year earlier. April placements were 1.70 million head, 8% below 2017, and marketings were 1.80 million head, 6% above 2017.
All numbers came in line with analyst expectations.
Feed supplies remain large, which weighs on fed cattle prices, while lower placements point to a tightening feeder supply. Because results matched expectations, the report is unlikely to move prices on its own.
