  • Cattle Crunch: Holiday Beef Outlook, Tight Supply, and Your Bottom Line

    Cattle Crunch: Holiday Beef Outlook, Tight Supply, and Your Bottom Line

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

    Hello and welcome to Daily Live Cattle Price Tracker. I’m Vanessa Clark, your go-to source for everything you need to know about live cattle prices and the latest updates from the market. Today is Tuesday, November fourth, and as always, I’ve got the freshest details to help you stay ahead whether you’re in the cattle industry or just watching the markets.

    Let’s jump right into today’s big question: What is the current trading price for live cattle? According to the latest Chicago Mercantile Exchange update midday Tuesday, December twenty five live cattle futures are trading at two hundred twenty seven dollars and eighty five cents per hundredweight, which is down four dollars and thirty five cents from the previous session. February twenty six contracts also dipped, now sitting at two hundred twenty five dollars and seventy five cents per hundredweight. For those keeping an eye on cash sales, prices in the north last week were in the two hundred thirty to two hundred thirty two dollar range, while southern sales were a tad stronger, coming in near two hundred thirty five to two hundred thirty seven dollars.

    So what’s driving this recent price movement? Tight U S cattle supplies are a major factor right now. The U S Department of Agriculture reports that last week’s cattle slaughter was up slightly over the previous week, but still down compared to last year, partly because the U S cattle herd has shrunk to its smallest size in decades. Ranchers have been reducing herds after a prolonged drought burned up pasturelands and raised feeding costs. This tighter supply has helped stabilize cattle futures after the sharp declines we saw in late October.

    Beef prices continue their seasonal climb as we move closer to the holidays. As of Monday afternoon, USDA reported choice boxed beef at three hundred seventy nine dollars and twenty five cents per hundredweight, up just over a dollar from last Friday. Select cuts were higher as well, at three hundred fifty nine dollars and ninety three cents.

    Traders are cautiously optimistic that beef prices will hold firm into the end of the year as wholesalers begin stocking up for Thanksgiving and the year end holiday season. Right now consumers, partly driven by price, are shifting to more affordable beef cuts like ground beef, but demand for premium beef is expected to ramp up as the holidays approach.

    On the practical side, if you’re a producer or involved in feeder cattle, expect more feeder cattle moving into markets in November. This is partly because, outside of the mountain states and northern plains, feeders have held their cattle a bit longer with prices rising and excellent grazing conditions this fall. Keep an eye out for increased auction activity and possible price adjustments as those cattle come to market.

    Here are a few actionable takeaways. If you’re managing inventory, consider your timing for marketing cattle carefully over the next several weeks. The price spread between cash and futures suggests opportunities, but also some risk as market volatility remains high. Staying on top of daily price movements is critical right now, especially given the rapid shifts we’ve seen lately.

    That’s a wrap for today’s episode of the Daily Live Cattle Price Tracker. Thanks so much for joining me.

  • Cattle Prices Defy Expectations: Your Daily Dose of Moo-ving Markets

    Cattle Prices Defy Expectations: Your Daily Dose of Moo-ving Markets
    Nov 3 2025

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

    Hello and welcome to the Daily Live Cattle Price Tracker, I am Vanessa Clark bringing you the most up-to-date news, market analysis, and actionable insights about live cattle prices. If you are a cattle producer, investor, or just curious about the beef supply chain, you are definitely in the right spot.

    Let’s kick things off by looking at the current trading price for live cattle as of today, Monday, November 3, 2025. The December live cattle contract closed at two hundred thirty-two dollars and twenty cents per hundredweight, up two dollars and fifty-two cents from the previous session. February’s contract settled at two hundred thirty point four zero, also showing a healthy increase. These upticks reflect a resilient market even as the sector faces headwinds from seasonal trends and shifting fundamentals. According to Trading Economics, spot market prices for live cattle traded at around two hundred thirty-two dollars and twenty-five cents, continuing the slight upward momentum that has defined the past several sessions.

    Let’s talk about what’s driving these prices. In the southern region, cash sales were reported between two hundred thirty-five and two hundred thirty-six dollars, while the northern markets saw larger volumes move at around two hundred thirty. Cash prices have bumped up slightly at the end of the week, which tells us that demand remains strong. However, compared to last week, prices in some areas are down around eight dollars, which could be a signal that packers and buyers are stepping back to assess demand going into the holiday season.

    On the supply side, cattle slaughter numbers this past week came in at five hundred fifty-nine thousand head, which is about fourteen thousand less than last week and over fifty-six thousand lower than a year ago. This decrease in slaughter volume is partly a response to packers closely monitoring retail demand and making real-time adjustments. It’s a reminder that consumer habits, even subtle shifts, can ripple through the entire market.

    Boxed beef prices are also worth watching. Choice boxes closed lower at around three hundred seventy-eight dollars, and the select cuts were lower too, at about three hundred fifty-nine. If these prices trend downward and packers continue to throttle back, that could influence next week’s cattle prices as well.

    Looking at the big picture, market volatility continues to be a major theme. Futures contracts have seen wide trading ranges with cash and futures prices frequently adjusting and rebalancing. One hot topic circulating this week is the rumor about the US border possibly reopening to cattle imports from Mexico in December. If that happens, it could inject extra liquidity and competition into our market, so keep that on your radar.

    If you are buying or selling cattle, it’s important to benchmark your prices. Each Tuesday, the USDA publishes a weighted average summary so you can measure how your deals stack up against national averages. And as always, remember seasonal trends: fall is usually a time of softer prices, but this year’s market has defied expectations thanks to tight supply and shifting export demand.

    For those managing risk, keep a close eye on futures contracts, watch for broader grain price movements, and take note of government policy changes around beef production. And don’t get caught chasing a mythical market top—market dynamics are always changing, and today’s hot price could shift tomorrow.

    That wraps up today’s Daily Live Cattle Price Tracker. I’m Vanessa Clark and I want to thank you for tuning in and making livestock market knowledge a part of your daily routine. Don’t forget to subscribe and join me for future episodes where I’ll break down price action, trends, and practical strategies to help you take charge of your cattle business.

  • Cattle Call: Your Daily Dose of Beefy Market Moves

    Cattle Call: Your Daily Dose of Beefy Market Moves
    Oct 31 2025

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

    Hello and welcome to the Daily Live Cattle Price Tracker. I’m Vanessa Clark, and as always, I’m here to keep you informed on the most up-to-date news and prices in the world of live cattle trading. If you’re a rancher, investor, or just someone curious about where beef prices are headed, this is your daily stop for the key information that matters.

    Let’s jump right in and talk numbers. Today, October thirty-first, the live cattle market has been in the spotlight across trading platforms. According to Trading Economics, live cattle prices currently sit at two hundred thirty-five dollars and twenty-four cents per hundredweight. That’s a slight uptick from earlier this week and marks a 1.66 percent gain compared to yesterday. For perspective, the December live cattle futures contract on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange closed at two hundred thirty-one dollars and ten cents, up just twenty cents on the day. Cash sales have featured northern trades around two hundred thirty dollars and southern sales near two hundred thirty-five—and the Fed Cattle Exchange online auction even saw sales at two hundred thirty-six dollars.

    But if you follow market trends, you know this week’s been anything but stable. It’s been a week of record trading volumes, with margins at beef plants reversing and packers pulling more cattle from feedlots at lighter weights. That’s pushing some sellers to market in hopes of catching higher asking prices after an earlier slump. In fact, prices were eight dollars lower in some northern regions compared to last week, which has been a tough pill for cash market sellers.

    On the broader scale, market analysts keep a close eye on sentiment, and the general mood has been described as “excessively optimistic.” Historically when sentiment reaches those highs, we often see a trend reversal—so it’s something to watch closely if you’re looking at futures. Bearish patterns have formed on the daily charts, so while prices have rebounded from their recent lows, there’s a chance we could be sitting near a short-term bottom or at least a consolidation phase.

    Let’s shift for a moment to demand. Despite all this volatility, consumer appetite for beef remains strong. Choice cutout values are hanging around three hundred seventy-five dollars, which is down from earlier highs but still healthy. This solid demand is supporting wholesale prices even as producers contend with tighter supplies and shorter fed cattle.

    If you’re in the cattle business, here are a couple of practical takeaways for the next week. First, hedgers should be cautious—production risk on the cash market remains high, especially with futures taking over as the front month. If you’re managing feed needs, coverage for soymeal through December and corn through November is recommended. Staying agile will be key as prices continue to shift and as packers adjust to changing supply dynamics.

    Looking ahead, Trading Economics projects live cattle could rise to around two hundred thirty-six dollars by the end of the quarter and sees potential for further gains next year. But as always, markets respond to news—like recent trade summits between the United States and China, which, while not moving the needle this week, have set the stage for lower trade tensions and potentially stronger demand down the road.
