The AgPretium Fed Cattle Forecasting solution provides up-to-date price forecasts for fed cattle, powered by a rigorously tested forecasting model. It provides data-driven projections against both current cash prices and the full LRP curve, from 13 to 52 weeks forward.
The AgPretium forecasting model has undergone what is widely considered the most rigorous form of historical testing: a walk-forward backtest. Results show the model has produced a 1.7% to 3.3% average improvement over a neutral hedge program. At current market levels, that equates to roughly $50–$100 per head.
