At the Chicago

Mercantile Exchange, live and feeder cattle futures ended the day lower on technical

selling, waiting for this week’s direct business to develop.  August live cattle closed $1 lower at $102.27

and October live cattle closed $.50 lower at $106.37.  August feeder cattle closed $1.10 lower at

$141.60 and September feeder cattle closed $.32 lower at $143.00. 

It was a quiet start to the week for direct cash cattle trade.  Showlists this week are mixed – higher in Texas, somewhat higher in Nebraska/Colorado, but lower in Kansas.
