Fed cattle prices have fallen about 7% over two months amid the coronavirus pandemic, with the five-area average live steer price dropping from $124/cwt in January to about $112 in March. LSU AgCenter economist Kurt Guidry said this decline comes at a time when prices normally seasonally rise into spring.
Uncertainty over domestic and international beef demand is cited as a key factor.
Weaker fed cattle prices reduce feeder and calf values and signal softer beef demand, which lowers producer returns and can cut the cattle inventory needed for feedlot and feed-ingredient demand.
