At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live and feeder cattle were mixed ahead of Friday’s On Feed report, which was friendly to the markets, but will likely be lost in the shortened holiday week. December live cattle closed $1.12 higher at $110.47 and February live cattle closed $.40 higher at $114.85. January feeder cattle closed $.52 lower at $140.45 and March feeder cattle closed $.30 lower at $142.30.
A quiet end to the week for direct cash cattle trade activity.
