“Shootin’ The Bull” by Christopher B Swift 6/01/2026 Live Cattle: After a few short flurries of price action, traders settled down into a narrower trading range to finish the day. Cattle feeders were profitable last week. The lower trading of feeder cattle in the late fall of last year lasted until November 28. From that point forward, cattle feeders have been paying sharply higher prices, with last weeks projection, nearing $500.00 per head loss.
