Feeder Cattle Futures Market News and Commentary

Cattle Extending Rally at Midday

Live cattle are trading with 52 cent to $1.80 gains across most contracts on Tuesday. Cash trade this week has been relatively quite so far. USDA reported cash sales of $186 in the South, up to $190 in the North last week, $2-3 higher. Feeder cattle are showing gains of 80 cents to $2.20 across most contracts. The CME Feeder Cattle index was up $3.83 on May 17 to $246.87 and converging nicely with May FC futures.

USDA’s Wholesale Boxed Beef prices were back higher in the Tuesday morning print. Choice boxes were up $1.17 at $313.87, with Select $2.68 higher to $302.03. That narrowed the Chc/Sel spread to $11.84. Monday’s estimated federally inspected cattle slaughter was at 120,000 head by the USDA. That is up 4,000 head from last week but down 5,274 head below the same Monday last year.
