At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live cattle futures were mixed, and feeder cattle were lower, watching corn and getting ready for the week’s direct business. October live was down $.12 at $144.20 and December was $.52 lower at $147.50. October feeders were $.87 lower at $174.65 and November was down $.85 at $175.20.
Direct cash cattle trade ended quiet throughout cattle country. Bids were hard to find. Some early asking prices were around $145 in the South, but did not establish in the North. Significant trade volume should pick up steam today and the rest of the week.
