Direct cash cattle trade ended the day steady on a few sales. Cash hogs closed higher.
At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live cattle futures were higher and feeders were mixed, watching corn and the direct cash cattle markets. August live was up $.20 at $123.15 and October was $.92 higher at $128.50. August feeders were $.07 lower at $158.70 and September was $.72 higher at $163.55.
The cattle market was slow Thursday after Wednesday’s light to moderate trade in the South, and light business in the North.
