Description:

Negotiated cash fed cattle trade last week was mainly steady at $110-$112/cwt. on a live basis and at $174-$175 in the beef.

Despite continued early pressure in equity markets—tied to worries about rising interest rates—Cattle futures managed to eke out gains to start the week.

Other than 2¢ lower in the back contract, Live Cattle futures closed an average of 24¢ higher.

Except for 10¢ lower in spot Oct and unchanged in the back contract, Feeder Cattle futures closed an average of 19¢ higher.

Wholesale beef values were steady on moderate demand and offerings, according to the Agricultural Marketing Service.

Choice boxed beef cutout value was 4¢ lower Monday afternoon at $203.21/cwt. Select was 7¢ lower at $191.81.
