Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Monthly Outlook: August 2020 Link

Pace of monthly fed cattle slaughter recovers to above 5-year average

• The week ending August 7, 2020, marked the 5th week of higher week-over-week prices in the 5-Area marketing region with $2.68

over the previous week at $101.34 per hundredweight (cwt). However, this is still about 10 percent below the same week last year.

That week in 2019 was the one in which the fire occurred at the Tyson plant in Finney County, Kansas, closing the facility for several

months. Following the fire, prices declined for 5 weeks and did not eclipse pre-fire price levels until 7 weeks after bottoming.

• Typically, as in the chart below, fed cattle prices decline seasonally to a bottom level in late third quarter or early fourth quarter. As

prices appear to have reached a seasonal bottom in the third-quarter, price strength may be further affected by economic

uncertainty weighing on beef demand in the fourth quarter, at a time when average carcass weights are more than 3 percent above

last year and rising seasonally.

• The price forecast for third-quarter 2020 was raised $1 to $101 per cwt, and the forecast for fourth-quarter 2020 was increased by

$1 to $105 per cwt. As a result, the average 2020 annual price is forecast at $107.30 per cwt, about $0.50 higher than last month.

• The estimated price strength was carried forward to the first quarter of 2021, with the price raised $1 to $105 per cwt for

an annual fed steer price of $110 per cwt.

• The price for feeder steers weighing 750-800 pounds for the week of August 10, 2020, was $142.93 per cwt, more than $5

above the same week last year. Based on improved feeding margins, a smaller estimated calf crop in 2020 than a year ago,

and fewer cattle outside feedlots than expected, the third-quarter 2020 feeder steer price was raised by $7 to $140 per

cwt, and the fourth-quarter 2020 forecast was increased $9 from the previous month to $140 per cwt. This month’s annual

price forecast for 2020 is $135.70 per cwt.

• This year’s calf crop is estimated slightly smaller than in 2019, which will likely reduce cattle available for placement next

year. With these expected tighter supplies and cheaper feed costs supporting demand, the price strength was carried over

into 2021, and as a result the annual price forecast for feeder steers was raised $3 to $137 per cwt.
