USDA's April cattle-on-feed report showed 4.2 million heifers and heifer calves on feed, up 14% from a year earlier and about 36% of total feedlot inventory. Total cattle on feed was 11.7 million head, the second-highest April 1 figure on record.
USDA analyst Shayle Shagam expects feeder prices, now about $145 per hundredweight, to fall into the high $130s in the third quarter.
Heavy feedlot placements and heifer retention point to more fed beef supply and lower feeder prices, which weighs on cattle futures in the coming months.
