Fat Tuesday | Trump says he can lower Beef prices!
Description
We walk through a fast-moving cattle market as futures flip to a premium over cash, spreads widen, and feeders gain leverage to push bids or wait. We also weigh packer margins, rising carcass weights, retail features, and why alternative meats are losing steam.
• Futures premium over cash reshapes feeder incentives
• October–December spread widens and implies stronger mid‑November values
• Government shutdown delays key data and clouds signals
• Carcass weights climb toward records and lift beef tonnage
• Quality grading improves with longer days on feed
• Packer margins turn negative and risk slaughter cuts
• Retail features drive meat case movement and pricing
• Alternative meats struggle against price and clean label trends
• Structural tight supplies favor firm beef prices into 2026
