Cattle futures ended the week on a very strong note after an aggressive selloff most of the week. Interestingly enough, up until today’s bounce, all live cattle had done is erase last week’s rally almost to the exact amount. Feb and April fats traded 5-10 cents below last week’s low before staging a sharp bounce higher. The rest of our AgMarket.Net® Cattle Report: https://hubs.li/Q030pwLl0

Cattle market fundamentals have cattle feeders betting on the come, again. This bull run that we have had for 4.5 years is leaving hedgers buying higher breakevens than the futures support. High breakevens in 2025 will probably result in a disappointing year cash to cash. April 2025 marks 5 years since an event has caused a big sell off. April 2020 "covid" cash bids were at 92 rather than 192. As an industry our breakevens are running either side of 192 in 2025. If you purchased some 182 B/E there are others at 202 B/E. In summary, betting on selling cash cattle at a profitable average looks bleak in 2025. Gamblers beware, the market loves to find a crisis!

Futures Market Analysis: Meats in a Nutshell (2/2) Overall Summary: Each of these futures markets shows distinct patterns. Lean Hogs leads with a strong bullish trend, while Feeder Cattle shows steady upward movement and resilience, and Live Cattle appears the weakest, with a bearish undertone. Given current market sentiment, Lean Hogs has the highest potential for gains in the short term, followed by Feeder Cattle. Live Cattle may lag but could stabilize if demand factors improve. Over the next quarter, expect Lean Hogs and Feeder Cattle to potentially reach new highs, while Live Cattle might enter a consolidation phase. (Image Source)---->(https://lnkd.in/d4n_gRa8)

The cattle market has been holding steady this week, with rains across the Plains sparking optimism for improved pasture conditions. On this week's *Cattle Call*, Brad Kooima with KKV Trading highlights several factors at play: - **Boxed Beef Trends**: There has been a higher grind in boxed beef, signaling demand strength in the beef sector, which could help support prices. - **Feeder Cattle Charts**: Chart trends for feeder cattle show potential resilience, but movement remains cautious as traders await further signals. - **Cattle Movement**: Speed of cattle movement through the market is an essential factor, with steady supplies helping stabilize the market. The key question remains whether the market can build on recent momentum, as traders look to balance supply factors with improving pasture conditions and broader market dynamics.

The Dallas Fed released Q2 figures for their ag bank survey this week. The feeder cattle loan index registered above 0 for the second consecutive month (meaning more ag banks are reporting increases in feeder cattle loans than decreases). Historically, this has been a decent leading indicator of retention activity even though the survey just covers the state of Texas (Texas ranks as the #1 cattle inventory state in the US). What's y'alls take on retention this year? Read ours in our latest white paper addressing herd and flock trends in the US.
