This is your Daily Live Cattle Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

Welcome to the Daily Live Cattle Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. I am Vanessa, and today is Thursday, October thirtieth, two thousand twenty-five. Thanks for joining me for your daily cattle market update, where we bring you the most current live cattle prices, the latest news, and what it all means for ranchers, producers, and anyone interested in the beef industry.

Let us jump right into the numbers, because I know that is why many of you are here. As of the close today, live cattle futures for December traded at two hundred thirty-one dollars and ten cents, up twenty cents from the previous session. February live cattle closed at two hundred twenty-nine dollars and fifty cents, just slightly up. If we look at cash trade this week so far, most of the action has been in the two hundred thirty-eight to two hundred forty dollar range, though some Texas sales on the online exchange hit two hundred thirty-five dollars and fifty cents. There has been a lot more volume this week, partly because beef plant margins have reversed and are calling for larger slaughter numbers.

Futures markets are in the spotlight right now. Earlier in the week, we saw live cattle futures rally about four to five dollars, as markets returned to supply and demand fundamentals. Boxed beef prices are also heading up into the end of the week, with the choice cutout at about three hundred seventy-five dollars. That is still well below the highs from earlier this year, but definitely some positive movement for beef producers who have been struggling with lower prices. Keep in mind, cattle weights are trending heavier this season compared to last year, which supports beef production and might impact prices in the months ahead.

One notable policy move making headlines today is the federal proposal to open up more public lands for cattle grazing as part of a plan to strengthen the U S beef industry and possibly help bring down grocery store prices. The proposal has sparked debate within industry groups and conservation circles, but if it moves forward, it could mean more grazing opportunities for ranchers, especially in Western states.

Looking at the big picture, national cattle numbers remain near historic lows, but daily gains and heavier weights have provided some relief going into winter. There is still concern about the cost of feed, especially with grain and soybean markets showing moderate gains, but recent rain in the southern plains is giving producers a bit of optimism for pasture conditions.

As always, for anyone selling or buying live cattle, staying on top of these market swings and new policy updates can really impact your operations. Remember, as we get closer to the holiday season, beef demand tends to pick up, which could bring more volatility but also more opportunities in live cattle trading.

That wraps up today’s update. Join me, Vanessa Clark, tomorrow for more news, trends, and analysis on the Daily Live Cattle Price Tracker. Be sure to subscribe and tell your friends to tune in, so you never miss the latest in live cattle price news. Thanks for listening, and have a great evening.
