American cattlemen had 10.6 M head of cattle on feed for slaughter November 1.

That's just slightly above the same time last year.  Placements in October were the second lowest since the series began in 1996.  They came in at 2.36 M, 1 per cent below 2013.

October U-S fed cattle marketings were the lowest they've been since the series began at 1.69 M.

That's 8 per cent below October 2013 marketings.
