This is your Daily Live Cattle Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

Welcome back to the Daily Live Cattle Price Tracker. I am Vanessa Clark, here to guide you through all the latest market action, crucial news, and trends that matter for anyone watching live cattle prices or thinking about the beef supply chain. Whether you are a rancher, a trader, or just keeping an eye on your grocery bill, I have got you covered.

Let us start with today’s headline numbers for live cattle. As of market close on Tuesday, December live cattle futures finished at two hundred forty five dollars and forty two cents, which is up a dollar seventy seven from where we started the day. The November feeder cattle futures also saw gains, closing at three hundred seventy three dollars and forty seven cents. The cash market has remained strong this week, with last week’s live cattle sales ranging from two hundred forty to two hundred forty one dollars per hundredweight in both the North and South, according to The Ag Center and Barchart.

What is interesting this week is the continuing influence of both fundamentals and some headline-driven volatility. Last week’s larger slaughter volume was welcomed by beef retailers, which helped lift boxed beef prices and supported cattle futures. On the supply side, slaughter levels are still running below last year, and show lists — that’s basically how many cattle are up for sale this week — are noticeably tighter across the board. That has given sellers the edge.

This week’s big story is all about policy talk and political comments. A tweet from President Trump earlier this week rattled futures markets, sending them sharply lower for a day. In that tweet, he credited high tariffs on Brazilian cattle for supporting domestic ranchers but also urged cattlemen to help lower beef prices for consumers. The futures market has since calmed, but that kind of headline risk remains something to watch.

Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced on a financial news network that a significant plan is coming out this week to bring more beef processing and production back to America. Details are still pending, but analysts expect this could impact both supply chains and prices, especially through the holiday season.

On the production side, heavier weights are coming into feedlots compared to last year, which helps offset some of the tighter headcount. We are also seeing some signs of moderate to good demand for feeder calves, especially for weaned steers, though prices have been more uneven for heifers. Calves in the Southern Plains have jumped dramatically in value compared to a year ago, as the national herd rebuilds at a faster pace than some analysts predicted.

Looking ahead, the feeling in the industry is cautious optimism. If you are in the cattle business, higher replacement costs and volatility mean every decision is a riskier one, but the fundamentals still look supportive, especially if the forecast for herd expansion holds up. We are seeing the market stabilize, but keep in mind that political announcements and global trade shifts can swing prices quickly.

For actionable takeaway, if you are a producer, watch those replacement costs closely and keep an eye on any announcements from USDA and the White House that might shake up trade or supply. For investors or traders, volatility is a double-edged sword — be sure you know your risk, especially with recent wild swings in futures prices.
