At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live and feeder cattle ended the day higher, supported by higher boxed beef.  Feeders had additional strength from the lower move in corn.  June live cattle closed $.55 higher at $164.57 and August lives closed $.45 higher at $163.40.  May feeder cattle closed $.85 higher at $210.27 and August feeders closed $1.45 higher at $230.95.
