CATTLE MARKET: A light volume of cattle traded on Thursday at $1.00 higher, likely setting the stage for the week. “The longer it takes to develop, the better we usually are,” Brad Kooima says of this week’s cash action. Watch this week's Cattle Call 📺 youtu.be/doijsabzBBM
While the headline numbers indicate contraction, Bumsted said traders may respond with a mixed “I would think at face value, they’d start to take this a little bit friendly here. “But longer term, we could start to see those deferred contracts maybe start to slip a little bit.”
“The trader was actually thinking it was going to be down more than that,” said @DryCedarFarms. “So that does look to be a little bit bearish” Beef replacement heifers were pegged at 3.70 million head, down 2.6 percent from two years ago, and also higher than trade expectations
STORY: U.S. Cattle inventory declines again in 2025 As of July 1, 2025, the total number of cattle and calves in the United States was estimated at 94.2 million head, a 1 percent decline from the last available data in 2023. ruralradio.com/rrn/news/u-s-c…

📉 U.S. Cattle Inventory Down Again As of July 1, the total U.S. cattle and calves herd is estimated at 94.2 million head — down 1% from 2023. ➤ Beef cows: 28.7 million (-1%) ➤ Calves under 500 lbs: 25.8 million (-2%) #Cattle #Beef #LivestockMarkets
🚨 Heifer Numbers Signal Continued Contraction Beef replacement heifers dropped 3% year-over-year to 3.7 million head. With fewer replacements and a shrinking calf crop, herd expansion still looks a ways off. #CattleInventory #AgMarkets #BeefProduction
