	Description:		Only 209 head were offered in the weekly Fed Cattle Exchange Auction on Wednesday—no takers. Cattle futures closed higher Wednesday, led by Feeder Cattle. Increasing wholesale beef values continued to provide support, as did increasing open interest and expectations for cash fed cattle prices this week to be at least steady with last week’s higher level. After $1.95 higher in expiring Oct, Live Cattle futures closed an average of 40¢ higher, except for an average of 14¢ lower in two contracts. Feeder Cattle futures closed an average of $1.35 higher (97¢ to $2.02 higher). Wholesale beef values were higher on moderate to good demand and moderate offerings, according to the Agricultural Marketing Service. Choice boxed beef cutout value was $1.33 higher Wednesday afternoon at $216.93/cwt. Select was $1.15 higher at $204.03.
