USDA’s monthly cattle-on-feed report was released on Friday.
The following data compare the government’s data with analysts’ estimates in the Urner Barry survey for cattle in the nation’s feedyards that have a capacity of 1,000 or more animals.
The figures are expressed as a percentage of the year-before number.
USDA’s estimates |
Average of estimates | Range of estimates | |
On-feed October 1 | 99.0 | 98.9 | 97.7 - 99.8 |
Placed in September | 102.0 | 101.5 | 95.1 - 107.6 |
Marketed in September | 101.0 | 101.1 | 98.2 - 101.5 |
