Cow-calf sector signal: measures whether raising and selling feeder animals is profitable relative to feed costs — corn is the primary variable cost at this stage. Cattle-Corn ratio above 30 = favorable cow-calf economics (expansion/retention signal). Hog-Corn ratio above 20 = favorable farrowing economics. Note: this ratio does not include the cost of purchasing feeder animals and therefore does not reflect feedlot profitability — see Feeding Margin Spreads below for that signal.

Feedlot operator signal: measures whether buying feeder animals and finishing them to market weight generates a return after all input costs. Unlike the feed cost ratio above, this includes the purchase cost of the feeder animal — the dominant input at the feedlot stage. Cattle 1:1:2 spread = live cattle revenue − feeder cattle cost − 2 bu corn per cwt gain. Hog margin = lean hog revenue − 3 bu corn − SBM (1 ton/20 cwt). Latest: cattle $-115.37/cwt, hogs $+49.09/cwt. When the cattle-corn ratio (chart above) is favorable but this margin is deeply negative, it signals that feeder cattle are expensive relative to fat cattle — a feedlot squeeze, not a feed cost problem. Sustained negative margins suppress feedlot placements, reducing finished cattle supply 4–6 months forward — the primary structural bull case for live cattle futures.

Southern Plains: TX, OK, KS, NM — primary cow-calf and stocker region.
Northern Plains: NE, SD, ND, MT, WY, CO, ID — range cattle and summer grazing.
High D2+ → reduced forage and hay availability → producers liquidate cow-calf herds early
(near-term bearish, long-term bullish). Data: US Drought Monitor, released Tuesdays.
Population-weighted apparent temperature for Iowa, N. Carolina, Minnesota, and 10 other hog-producing states. Cold regime: NWS Wind Chill. Hot regime: NWS Heat Index. Thermoneutral 20–68°F; heat stress above 68°F; cold stress below 20°F.
