	Description:		Notions grew stronger yesterday for steady to higher cash fed cattle prices this week. Early live sales in the western Corn Belt were $1-$2 higher at $114-$116/cwt., on slow trade and light demand. There were 620 head (seven lots) offered in the weekly Fed Cattle Exchange auction. One lot (148 head) of steers from Kansas sold at $116.75/cwt. for delivery at 1-9 days. That’s toward the top of the price range for country trade in the region last week. Live Cattle futures closed marginally mixed Wednesday, while Feeder Cattle softened slightly, amid light trade and a lack of direction. Live Cattle futures closed narrowly mixed, from an average of 5¢ higher in three contracts to an average of 12¢ lower. Feeder Cattle futures closed an average of 54¢ lower. Wholesale beef values were weak to lower on light to moderate demand and moderate offerings, according to the Agricultural Marketing Service. Choice boxed beef cutout value was 72¢ lower Wednesday afternoon at $213.28/cwt. Select was $1.74 lower at $198.50.
