This is your Daily Live Cattle Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.
Hello everyone, I’m Vanessa Clark, and welcome to the Daily Live Cattle Price Tracker. Today, I’m bringing you the latest updates on live cattle prices, market trends, and what’s shaping the industry right now.
As of today, live cattle are trading at around 219.61 US dollars per hundredweight, which is a slight increase from yesterday. Over the past month, prices have seen a dip, falling about 9 percent, but they’re still up nearly 19 percent compared to this time last year. The market is showing some volatility, with prices bouncing between 218 and 220 over the last few days. Experts expect prices to hold steady near 220 by the end of the quarter, with forecasts pointing to a possible rise to around 230 in the next year.
The cattle industry is still feeling the effects of several years of herd liquidation, and supply remains tight. JBS and other major processors say that cattle supplies will continue to be limited through the end of the year and into 2026. This tightness is supporting prices, even as the administration’s recent moves to lower beef prices have caused some short-term uncertainty. The removal of tariffs on beef imports from countries like New Zealand, Australia, and Argentina has added more supply to the market, but the overall impact on prices has been limited so far.
On the ground, cash cattle sales last week were down a few dollars, with live sales in the north around 225 and in the south around 228. Dressed sales were also lower, ranging from 351 to 355. Slaughter volumes have picked up, but they’re still below last year’s levels. The market is also seeing a shift in how cattle are being bought and sold, with more producers turning to internet auctions and forward contracts to manage risk.
If you’re watching the market, keep an eye on supply trends and how demand holds up as we head into the holiday season. For now, the outlook remains strong, but the market can shift quickly with any new news or policy changes.
