Cattle on Feed Estimates

For Immediate Release

Allendale, Inc. Releases Cattle on Feed Estimates

CHICAGO, IL. (November 9, 2023)The following are our estimates for the coming Cattle on Feed report.

October placements are expected +2.7% from prior year at 2.157 million head. This would represent the second month in a row of higher inflows. October placements determine a part of April through September fed cattle supply. One  major theme for the cattle complex has been a changed placement pattern. Over six months now, May – October, inflows will have run +0.5% from one year ago. Kansas State University estimates May and June finishing cattle require a $187 breakeven.

Allendale anticipates a Marketing total in October -2.8% from last year at 1.753 million. This would be the smallest October marketing in seven years.

Total Cattle on Feed as of November 1 is estimated at 11.927 million, +2.0% from last year.
