At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live and feeder cattle ended the day mixed, mostly higher on spread trade and the mixed boxed beef. June live cattle closed $.55 higher at $116.02 and August live cattle closed $.37 higher at $118.85. May feeder cattle closed $1.25 higher at $131.72 and August feeder cattle closed $.87 higher at $144.27.
It was a relatively quiet end to the week for direct cash cattle trade activity. Just a handful of cleanup deals in Kansas at fully steady money with the rest of the week’s business.
