Net Exports okay Fewer domestic concerns & more international exception is energy Weekly Live Cattle Contract This market has found a top trading range of $ /cwt. $170 12

13 Weekly Feeder Cattle Contract This market has found a top trading range of $???-242/cwt. $240 Cattle Outlook Fed cattle market has been strong: Domestic demand is the reason. International demand and trade less so Competing meats? Feeder cattle and calf prices were as good as they are going to get during fall 2014: Modest continued beef cow liquidation. But evidence of herd rebuilding. 13

20 Cattle & Beef Going Forward? Strength of domestic & international demand are the cause of strong & weak cattle prices. Multiple years of drought impacting supplies & market dynamics. Now is the result of herd expansion & return to more normal feeding costs. Will be pressured by pork & poultry prices beef will lose market share. Tough times for single species margin operations.
