U.S. Trade (U.S. funds)
U.S. cash cattle trade
The U.S. cash cattle trade last week saw dressed sales in the Northern feeding states at $380.00/cwt, while live sales were at $242.00/cwt, fully steady with the previous week. Sales in Texas and Kansas were from $233.00-$240.00/cwt live, with most trade at $235.00/cwt, $5.00/cwt higher. After a sharp sell off on Friday both live and feeder cattle contracts are rallying today. According to the latest World Supply and Demand report, beef production for 2026 is expected to be down 4% compared to 2025. Both pork and broiler production for 2026 is expected to be larger by about 1%. As pork and broiler continues to grow this will act as headwinds for the beef market.
