Livestock & dairy — market overview
The livestock & dairy category tracks the market prices of animal-origin food supply: live cattle, lean hogs, feeder cattle, boneless beef, plus milk, milk powder, cheese and butter. Prices respond to feed costs (corn, soybean), herd sizes, disease outbreaks (African swine fever, avian flu), global trade bans on meat, and export demand from China, Mexico and South Korea.
What drives livestock & dairy prices?
The key fundamental factors market participants track day-to-day across this category.
Feed costs (corn, soybean)
Feed is the largest cost for producers. High corn prices shrink herds, which lifts meat prices over the following months.
Disease outbreaks
African swine fever (China 2018–2021: 50%+ herd loss), avian influenza, BSE — fast and drastic price impacts.
Meat export bans
Brazilian, Australian and US meat-export agreements and Russian or Chinese import bans cause direct volume and price shifts.
Income levels and meat consumption
A growing middle class (China, India, South-East Asia) boosts beef and dairy demand, supporting a structural upward trend.
