The annual cattle inventory report was released by the USDA Friday. Total cattle inventories were reported at 97.1 million head, up from 95.4 million head on January 1, 2005. Feeder cattle and calf supplies outside feed yards, those available to be placed on feed, increased 1.7% or 468,000 head.

Given the calculated increase in feeders and calves outside feedyards, all other factors being equal, feeders would be expected to average approximately $3.00/cwt below last year and calves $5.00/cwt below last year. Stay informed; always know and manage your financial risk.
