At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live and feeder cattle ended the day higher with support from higher boxed beef during the session. Feeders had additional support from the day’s mostly lower move in corn. April live cattle closed $.47 higher at $119 and June live cattle closed $.75 higher at $120.42. March feeder cattle closed $1.10 higher at $136.35 and April feeder cattle closed $1.95 higher at $143.22.
A quiet end to the week for direct cash cattle trade following the week’s light to moderate business.
