Cattle Prices Soar Amid Record-low Herd Size and Holiday DemandCME: Live Cattle Futures ( CME:LE1! ) CME live cattle futures market rallied last week. February 2026 contract rose $3.15 to settle at $227.15 (per 100 pounds) on Friday, gaining $9.30 or 4.63% on the week. In the spot market, the National Daily Cattle & Beef Summary shows that the Weekly Average Price of Choice Cutout was $361.20 per 100 pounds as of December 5th. This is $46 or 15% above the year-ago price, and $83 or 30% above the 5-year average. A major driver of the rising beef prices stems from a record low cattle supply. The start of 2025 saw the smallest national herd since 1951. Meanwhile, beef consumption increases due to the holiday season as well as the cold weather. Low supply and high demand are a recipe for higher prices. November WASDE Report On November 14th, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) published an update on World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates, also known as the WASDE report. November WASDE is bullish on beef and cattle: • For 2025, beef production is lowered, as reduced steer and heifer slaughter and lower weights are partially offset by higher expected cow and bull slaughter. • For 2026, beef production is lowered on reduced steer and heifer slaughter, with the slower rate of fed cattle marketings expected to carry into the first half of 2026. • The beef import forecasts for 2025 and 2026 are unchanged from the previous report based on U.S. Census data reported through July. Beef exports are reduced in the third quarter of 2025 but remain unchanged for the outlying quarters of 2025 and 2026. While the November WASDE forecasted lower cattle prices for Q4 2025 and 1H 2026, I expect the December WASDE to raise its price forecasts based on recent market rallies. July Cattle Inventory The U.S. cattle herd totaled 94.2 million head as of July 1, 2025, according to the latest bi-annual Cattle report from the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Among the total herd, 38.1 million were cows and heifers that have calved. The report also breaks down the numbers by category, with 28.7 million beef cows and 9.45 million milk cows counted nationwide. The 2025 calf crop is projected at 33.1 million head, while 13 million cattle are currently on feed. The cattle cycle is the natural expansion and contraction of the U.S. cattle herd — which is tied to supply and demand. It typically occurs every eight to 12 years. When producers can get higher prices, they will likely retain more females, called heifers, for breeding. When the cattle supply increases, prices eventually go down and the herds contract again. However, if farmers begin retaining heifers to put into the breeding herd, it will first reduce the total domestic beef production because we have fewer animals going to the feedlot. Therefore, even though higher beef prices encourage heifer retention, I expect the number of marketing cattle to remain low for the next 6-12 months. Partially offsetting the impact of smaller herd numbers is the fact that the U.S. is producing bigger cattle. Incremental supply, mainly for ground beef, also comes from beef imports.

Farewell Beyond Meat, Welcome Real BeefCME: Live Cattle Futures ( CME:LE1! ) Last week, Beyond Meat ( NASDAQ:BYND ) pushed back against rumors that it has filed for bankruptcy, calling recent media reports “unequivocally false.” The denial comes after several headlines suggested the company was headed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It was only six years ago when Beyond Meat was the hottest game in town. It ran on a high-flying hope to revolutionize what we eat and make us healthier. Shares of BYND went public at $25 on May 2, 2019, and were up 163% on the first day. A confession: I was under its magical spell too and went on national TV in 2019 to discuss the potential of plant-based meat in China. My optimism wasn’t ungrounded. Beyond Meat entered the Chinese market in 2020 with partnerships with Starbucks and Alibaba. The Company opened its first factory near Shanghai in 2021. NASDAQ:BYND reached its all-time high (ATH) of $234.90 on July 26, 2019. As of Monday, the shares are trading at $2.60, down 33% year-to-date, and down 98.9% from the ATH. Many reasons caused the downfall of the former market darling. High cost and unnatural flavor are among the most lethal. When a slice of plant-based meat costs twice as much as ground beef, consumers would think twice before they pick it up. Back at the television program in 2019, I was asked to participate in a blind test. It wasn’t hard for me to tell the difference between the juicy McDonald’s breakfast sausage and the dryness in the plant-based meat. Beyond Meat closed its Chinese factory in February and completely exited the Chinese market by the end of Q2, according to the Company’s announcement. In the past few years, consumers have gradually woken up to the fact that, when it comes to meat, real beef tastes the best. On Monday, CME live cattle futures are trading at $231 per hundred pounds, up 19% YTD and up 112% in five years. August WASDE Report On August 12th, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) published its latest updates on World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates, also known as the WASDE report. August WASDE is bullish on beef and cattle: • The forecast for 2025 beef production is lowered on reduced fed and non-fed cattle slaughter and lighter dressed weights. • For 2026, beef production is lowered due to reduced expected placements in the second half of 2025, as well as reduced cow slaughter in 2026. • Beef imports for 2025 are lowered to reflect reported trade data through the first half of the year, as well as reduced shipments due to higher tariff rates, particularly from Brazil. The reduction is carried into beef imports for 2026. The beef export forecast is reduced for 2025, reflecting tighter domestic supplies. The reduction is carried into lower exports for the first half of 2026. • Cattle price forecasts for 2025 are raised for both the third and fourth quarters based on recent price strength and resilient demand for beef. The higher cattle price forecasts are carried into 2026. Trading with CME Live Cattle Futures Futures market shows bullish sentiment. CFTC’s Commitments of Traders report shows that, as of August 12th, CME live cattle futures ( NASDAQ:LE ) have total open interest (OI) of 382,088 contracts. • “Managed Money” holds 151,580 Long contracts, 31,587 Short contracts, and 43,598 contracts at spread positions. • The long/short ratio of 4.8-to-1 shows that “Smart Money” is bullish on Live Cattle. A trader sharing a similar bullish view could explore CME Live Cattle futures. Live Cattle futures have a notional value of 40,000 pounds (~18 metric tons).

Livestock Price Volatility: Trading Cattle and Hog FuturesThe US livestock market is experiencing significant price volatility in 2025, as outlined in the USDA’s April 2025 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. Cattle prices are projected to rise to $206 per cwt, driven by robust demand, while hog prices are lowered to $61 per cwt due to weaker export demand amid tariffs and global competition. These divergent price trends, coupled with production shifts—such as reduced pork output—create a dynamic trading environment for livestock futures. This article analyzes the market with updated price action for cattle futures. Livestock Market Dynamics: Diverging Price Trends Cattle prices are raised to an annual average of $206 per cwt, up from the prior estimate of $200, reflecting strong domestic demand and reported data through Q1 2025. This bullish outlook for cattle is supported by higher beef production forecasts, now at 26.767 billion pounds (up from 26.752 billion), driven by heavier dressed weights and increased cow and bull slaughter, though steer and heifer slaughter is lower. Beef exports, however, are reduced to 2.685 billion pounds (down from 2.820 billion) due to tariffs and non-tariff barriers in China, while imports are also down to 4.860 billion pounds, reflecting higher tariffs on foreign suppliers. In contrast, hog prices are lowered to $61 per cwt, down from $63, as weaker export demand overshadows a slight increase in Q1 prices. Pork production is reduced to 28.090 billion pounds (down from 28.440 billion), reflecting lower slaughter and weights, with the March 27 Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report indicating smaller pig crops in 2024 and reduced farrowings through much of 2025. Pork exports are also down to 6.955 billion pounds (from 7.220 billion), impacted by increased tariffs on US shipments to China and price competition from other exporters, such as Brazil and the EU. These divergent price movements—cattle prices up 3% to $206 per cwt and hog prices down 3% to $61 per cwt—create a unique opportunity for traders to exploit the volatility in livestock futures, particularly through mean-reversion or trend-following strategies. Market Context: Supply and Demand Shifts The broader livestock market context adds complexity to the trading landscape. Total red meat and poultry production is lowered to 108.154 billion pounds (down from 108.467 billion), reflecting declines in pork and turkey output, though broiler production is raised to 47.775 billion pounds (up from 47.700 billion) due to improved returns in the second half of 2025. Beef ending stocks are slightly down to 580 million pounds (from 585 million), while pork ending stocks remain steady at 425 million pounds, indicating a balanced but constrained supply picture. Global trade dynamics, particularly the US-China trade war, are a key driver of export challenges. The WASDE report notes that pork exports to China face increased tariffs, reducing shipments, while beef exports are similarly impacted by non-tariff barriers. This export weakness, combined with domestic production adjustments, suggests that price volatility in livestock futures will persist, offering opportunities for traders to capitalize on short-term price swings. Trading Signals and Strategies The livestock market’s price divergence provides clear trading signals for futures traders. Cattle futures CME:LE1! are showing a shift in momentum with updated price action, while hog futures CME:HE1! face bearish pressure at $61 per cwt. As of April 24, LE futures are trading at $207.725 per cwt, slightly down from a recent high of $207.945, and HE futures are at $60.50 per cwt, setting the stage for distinct trading strategies. The outlook for cattle remains bullish in the longer term, with prices projected at $206 per cwt and strong domestic demand, but short-term price action suggests caution. LE futures have encountered resistance near $207.945 and are now testing $207.725, with a bearish MACD crossover (MACD at 1.821, signal at 1.823) indicating downward momentum. A break below $207 could signal a move to the next support at $206, offering a 1% downside in the short term. For a reversal play, if LE futures hold above $206 and reclaim $207.945 with strong volume and a MACD crossover above the signal line, prices could target the next resistance at $209, a 1% gain. This setup would require a shift in momentum, potentially driven by renewed domestic demand or easing export barriers. For hog futures, the bearish outlook with prices at $61 per cwt and exports down to 6.955 billion pounds suggests a shorting opportunity. HE futures are testing support at $60, with the 50-day moving average at $62 acting as resistance. A break below $60, confirmed by a bearish MACD crossover and an RSI drop below 40, could signal a move to $58, a 3-4% downside. The WASDE’s reliability data shows a 2.1% root mean square error for pork production forecasts, indicating potential volatility if future reports adjust output estimates significantly. Alternatively, traders can exploit the price divergence between cattle and hogs through a mean-reversion strategy. The spread between LE and HE futures—currently around $147.225 per cwt ($207.725 minus $60.50)—is near a 52-week high, suggesting potential for convergence if hog prices stabilize or cattle prices cool. Traders can short LE futures and go long on HE futures, targeting a spread contraction to $146, while monitoring export data and production updates for shifts in sentiment. Risks to Watch Trading livestock futures involves risks, particularly given the export-driven volatility. The US-China trade war, with tariffs reducing pork exports to 6.955 billion pounds and beef exports to 2.685 billion pounds, could further dampen demand if global economic growth slows. The WASDE’s historical data indicates a 90% confidence interval of ±3.5% for pork production forecasts, meaning estimates can vary by up to 983 million pounds, introducing uncertainty. Additionally, domestic demand strength for cattle (supporting the $206 per cwt price) could weaken if recession fears intensify, while unexpected production increases in pork could pressure hog prices further. The livestock market, as detailed in the WASDE report, offers traders a volatile yet opportunity-rich environment, with cattle prices rising to $206 per cwt and hog prices falling to $61 per cwt. LE futures, now at $207.725 per cwt, present a short-term bearish setup targeting $206 for a 1% downside, though a reversal to $209 or a mean-reversion strategy on the LE-HE spread (currently $147.225, targeting $146) provides alternatives. HE futures offer a bearish shorting opportunity, aiming for $58 with a 3-4% profit potential.

Short term sizable correction before new highsI haven't updated my cattle idea in awhile, but it's been trading like I figured, since Feb. We've now hit multiple technical targets in this pocket up here. I think there's a good chance we get a decent correction from here down to the 198-197 area, although it could easily retrace down lower, more violent and sharp with fund long covering and momentum. Long term I am still bullish with my original idea back at the beginning of the year, and think we can get that 217-218 target in the fall. My last idea this is continuing:

Looking for sideways to higher before new lowsThis is a continuation of my recent first TV post a couple weeks ago. It looks even better confirmed now that the 208 area was our short to intermediate term top in cattle. There is a possibility it was THE top, if we close below our 189 wave 1 area, especially on a weekly basis for conservative confirmation. Then it'd be 2015 all over again, the likely confirmed end of the larger cattle bull cycle. My preferred take is still for new all-time highs later this year though. We were extremely overbought, the funds at record long, and technical indicators all showing us we were due for a notable top and heavy correction. Here we have been getting the hard down the last couple weeks. I feel that today's 38.2% retracement back to the 8/21/24 low at 195.50 is a good area to look for some interim strength, or at least basing. This wave 4 down is likely to be complex and longer-driven, as wave 2 was a simple zigzag and short and to the point. It's quite possible we drag this thing out until sometime in April for a seasonally weaker time frame, before making a final 5th wave up. Seasonality and some other indication points to a possible major trend change in September of this year, so that's possibly when we finally drag out the top wave 5 in? It could be quite a bit sooner though too. I still like the idea of the 220 area in the longterm, and it's still possible with EW technicals, as although wave 5 would be "longer than the norm" when wave 3 is extended (it looks to have been), wave 5 could still be 0.618 of wave 1+3 which would get you around that 220 area if we do indeed drop down to the 190 area for wave 4. It could also be shallower than that, but it's likely to be complex like a flat or triangle in here either way. My related post:

Cattle Update: Changes in Program and Data PublicationFollowing the 2022 Census of Agriculture, changes were implemented in the cattle program. Starting January 2025, a reduced number of data items are being published for the following states: Alaska (AK), Connecticut (CT), Delaware (DE), Hawaii (HI), Indiana (IN), Louisiana (LA), Maine (ME), Maryland (MD), Massachusetts (MA), Mississippi (MS), Nevada (NV), New Hampshire (NH), New Jersey (NJ), North Carolina (NC), Rhode Island (RI), South Carolina (SC), Utah (UT), Vermont (VT), and West Virginia (WV). Despite this reduction, key estimates such as the total inventory of all cattle and calves, all cows inventory, and calf crop are still published for all states. At the state level, data publication has been streamlined to focus on essential metrics while maintaining consistency with national totals. For instance, Texas, one of the largest cattle-producing states, saw its total cattle and calves inventory decline from 11,700,000 head in 2024 to 11,800,000 head in 2025, representing a slight increase of 1%. Meanwhile, smaller states like Delaware experienced more pronounced fluctuations, with its inventory decreasing by 4% over the same period. In addition to these program changes, revisions to previous estimates were conducted to ensure accuracy and reliability. All inventory and calf crop estimates for July 1, 2023, and January 1, 2024, were reviewed using updated data on calf crop, official slaughter records, import and export statistics, and new survey information. Based on this review : • The estimate for all cows and heifers that have calved decreased by 0.3% as of July 1, 2023, and by 0.6% as of January 1, 2024. • The 2023 calf crop estimate was revised downward by 0.1%. State-level estimates were also reviewed, leading to reallocations of inventory figures to align with the United States total. For example, the inventory of beef cows that have calved in Nebraska was adjusted downward by 4%, while milk cow inventories in California remained relatively stable, increasing by only 1%. Revisions are an ongoing process aimed at improving year-to-year and item-to-item relationships. Estimates for the previous year are subject to revision when current estimates are prepared, with updates primarily driven by livestock slaughter data, foreign trade figures, and additional survey results. Furthermore, estimates will be reviewed after the release of data from the five-year Census of Agriculture, after which no further revisions will be made. The reliability of these estimates is supported by rigorous statistical methodologies. Over the past 10 years, the "Root Mean Square Error" for all cattle and calves inventory estimates has averaged 0.4%, meaning there is a 2-in-3 chance that the final estimate will not deviate from the current estimate by more than 0.4%. At the 90% confidence level, this margin increases to 0.7%. Historical data shows that changes between the first and latest estimates have averaged 234,000 head, ranging from 0 to 627,000 head. All together, these program adjustments and revisions underscore the commitment to delivering precise and actionable insights into the cattle sector. By balancing comprehensive data collection with operational efficiency, stakeholders can make much more informed decisions regarding production planning, pricing strategies, and resource allocation. This approach ensures that users receive reliable and up-to-date information to navigate the complexities of modern agriculture.

Cattle Inventory and Classification for January 31Overview The cattle inventory report provides a comprehensive breakdown of cattle and calf populations across the United States, categorized by class. This data is essential for understanding trends in livestock production, market dynamics, and agricultural planning. Key Highlights • National Inventory. As of January 1, 2025, the total inventory of all cattle and calves stood at 86,662,200 head, representing a slight decline from 87,157,400 head in 2024. • State-Level Data. While national figures offer a broad perspective, state-level inventories provide granular insights into regional contributions to the overall cattle population. • Classifications. Cattle are classified into various categories, including beef cows, milk cows, heifers, steers, bulls, and calves under 500 pounds. Each category reflects specific segments of the cattle industry. Notable Changes Beef Cows. The inventory of beef cows that have calved decreased slightly, with numbers dropping from 28,013,000 head in 2024 to 27,863,500 head in 2025. Milk Cows. Milk cow inventories also showed minor fluctuations, reflecting shifts in dairy production levels. Implications for the Market Understanding cattle inventory by class helps stakeholders anticipate supply and demand dynamics. For instance, a decrease in beef cow inventories may signal tighter supplies of feeder cattle, potentially driving up prices. Conversely, stable or increasing milk cow numbers could indicate steady or growing demand for dairy products. The cattle inventory report serves as a critical tool for farmers, ranchers, policymakers, and investors seeking to navigate the complexities of the livestock sector. Calf Crop Estimates The calf crop estimates provide critical insights into the reproductive performance of the cattle industry, reflecting the number of calves born during specific periods. These estimates are vital for understanding future supply dynamics and planning for market demands. According to the latest data, the total calf crop for 2023 was reported at 33,563,000 head, with a slight decrease to 33,529,500 head in 2024. National totals are complemented by state-level estimates, offering a more granular view of regional contributions to the overall calf crop. For instance, states like Texas and Nebraska consistently rank among the top contributors, while smaller states may show more variability year over year. The report also breaks down calf crop figures into six-month periods, allowing for a more detailed analysis of seasonal trends. Revisions to previous estimates have been made based on updated slaughter, import, and export data, ensuring greater accuracy. For example, the 2023 calf crop estimate was revised downward by 0.1 percent following a comprehensive review. Such adjustments help refine projections and improve the reliability of future forecasts. Understanding calf crop trends is essential for stakeholders across the livestock sector, from ranchers planning breeding cycles to traders evaluating market conditions.

Overdue for a strong correction before higher yet?Here is my current view of LC. Like many others, I never thought it would get this high in the first place. But following and adapting with this runaway longwinded bull, the funds are very long and as they unwind (it already looks to have started), it's gonna be a sharp downward move. There's good support and technical retracement down around the 190 region, but panic and momentum and long liquidation turning to even shorts could get thing uglier yet. I currently expect to eventually shoot back to new highs, perhaps targeting 220 region.

Beef Prices Soar: A Global Trend Beyond BrazilBeef prices are hitting historic highs across the globe, not just in Brazil, as many tend to believe. The surge isn’t isolated to meat alone; rice, chicken, and olive oil prices are following a similar upward trajectory. This global trend highlights an important point: political factors have minimal influence on price movements in this context. Instead, it’s driven by a complex mix of supply chain disruptions, increased demand, and other economic factors. Understanding these dynamics is crucial. Relying on political narratives to explain price changes is misleading. Stay informed, make data-driven decisions, and don’t fall into political traps that distract from the real issues at hand. Knowledge is your most powerful tool in navigating these challenging times.
