The number of cattle in the US feedlots increased
The USDA report notes that the number of cattle placed in feedlots during July 2020 increased by 11% compared to July 2019 and reached 1.89 million. At the same time, the total livestock, which on August 1, 2020, was in feedlots, increased by 1% compared to last year and amounted to 11.3 million heads. This is the highest amount since the USDA started publishing statistics in 1996. It can be assumed that the American beef supply has practically recovered after the quarantine due to the coronavirus. At the same time, according to the USDA, since the beginning of 2020, the cattle slaughter is 1.06 million less than last year as of the current date. In theory, this may indicate that demand has not fully recovered yet.
