Last week’s average of $363.02 was $5.49 lower than the previous week and is now more than $16 lower than the beginning of October. The lower wholesale beef prices have pressured live cattle with the five-area average steer price $8 lower to average $216.52. The number of cattle placed into feedlots has been lower every month in 2026 when compared to last year, so there are still thoughts that smaller supplies in early 2027 will bring higher prices. Last week’s estimated harvest of 534,000 head was 9,000 fewer than the previous week and 35,000 fewer than the same week last year. Feeder cattle imports from Mexico continue at a moderate level with 15,000 head crossing the border last week. The current pace would indicate that about 150,000 will be imported by the end of the year. September beef exports increased slightly from a year ago and value rose 8%. Beef export value equated to $391.43 per head of fed harvested in September, up 16% from a year ago. Exports accounted for 11.7% of total September beef production, up from 10.9% a year ago.</p><p><b>Pork </b></p><p>It is estimated that 2.664 million hogs were harvested last week, 56,000 more than the previous week and 28,000 more than a year ago. Cash hogs on a carcass basis were more than $3.50 lower last week and lowest of the year so far. The pork cutout value fell to its lowest level of the year as well, averaging $70.73, making it $1.30 lower. Forty-pound feeder pigs averaged $43.97/head last week with early weaners averaging $24.47/head. September pork exports totaled 216,353 metric tons, 7.5% lower than a year ago, while value fell 13.5% to $591.3 million. Pork production in Mexico has rebounded and that has impacted sales to that country. Pork export value equated to $55.57 per head harvested in September, down 11% from a year ago. January through September export value equated to $64.35 per head, down 1%. Exports accounted for 26.4% of total September pork production and 23.5% of muscle cuts. January through September exports accounted for 29.6% of total production and 29.9% of muscle cuts, each essentially steady with the same period last year.</p><h2>Sheep &amp; Lambs</h2><p>Cash lambs were steady to higher last week with market ewe prices called softer. The lamb cutout value was $680.19 last Friday, a drop of $2.90 from the previous week. Estimated harvest for the week was 35,000 head, 1,000 more than previous week and 2,000 fewer than last year. September exports of U.S. lamb muscle cuts totaled 152 metric tons, up 17% from a year ago, while value increased 10% to $884,000. January through September lamb exports were down 9% from a year ago, but value increased 1%.</p><h2>Wisconsin Livestock Prices</h2><p>Fed cattle prices were 2-4 lower. Top quality beef steers and heifers brought 206-212/cwt with some selling up to $216/cwt. Mixed Choice and Select steers and heifers ranged from 193-206/cwt. High-grading Holstein steers sold 2-3 lower, bringing 175-198/cwt. Lower-grading steers brought 165-175/cwt. Silage fed and under finished steers brought 90-165/cwt. Dairy Beef cross steers were lower, bringing 190-208/cwt. Cows were lower, bringing 79-110/cwt with some selling into the high $120s. Lower-yielding cows brought 35-79/cwt. Doubtful health and thin cows brought up to $35/cwt. Dairy breed bull calves were mostly steady, selling from 500-1,200/head. Dairy breed heifer calves brought 200-600/head. Beef and Beef Cross calves were lower from 500-1,500/head. Light and lower quality calves sold up to $60. Fed lambs brought 200-270/cwt with light lambs selling up to $280/cwt.</p><p>The post Wisconsin Beef, Hog Values Dip Lower first appeared on The Farm.</p></div></body>
