Description:

Negotiated cash fed cattle trade was slow on light to moderate demand in Nebraska through Thursday afternoon, with a few dressed trades at $175/cwt.; steady with last week, but too few to trend.

Early support faded in Cattle futures Thursday, ending with a mainly narrowly mixed to narrowly lower close.

Except for 65¢ lower in spot Oct, Live Cattle futures closed narrowly mixed, from 2¢ to 25¢ lower across the front half of the board, then 5¢ to 15¢ higher the rest of the way.

Other than 15¢ higher in spot Sep, Feeder Cattle futures closed an average of 29¢ lower, with most pressure in the front contracts.

Wholesale beef values were firm on moderate to fairly good demand and moderate to heavy offerings, according to the Agricultural Marketing Service.

Choice boxed beef cutout value was 27¢ higher Thursday afternoon at $204.52/cwt. Select was 73¢ higher at $194.91.
