USDA Cattle on Feed Report Preview
ShayLe Stewart 2/19 12:31 PM

OMAHA (DTN) -- Friday's Feb. 1 USDA Cattle on Feed report shouldn't ruffle any feathers in the market. If anything, it could be received as bullish if the pre-report estimates hold true.

The biggest outlier in this month's report will be the marketing data, which doesn't have a colossal effect on the market. It will likely show a double-digit decrease in the number of cattle marketed, as packers haven't been as aggressive in the cash market, as prices are at all-time highs.

**

USDA will release its Feb. 1 Cattle on Feed report at 2 p.m. CST on Friday.

USDA Actual Average Estimate* Range
On Feed Feb. 1 98.5% 97.8-98.8%
Placed in January 96.7% 92.7-99.5%
Marketed in January 87.0% 86.7-88.0%
* Estimates compiled by Dow Jones.
