Abstract

Relationships between live cattle futures prices and placements of cattle in Cattle Fax member feedlots are examined via supply response models and lead/ lag analyses. The results suggest that trade in live cattle futures helps to stabilize short-run supplies of fed cattle and thereby contribute to more stable cash fed cattle prices.
