Description:

Negotiated cash fed cattle trade remained mostly undeveloped through late Friday afternoon, although there continued to be chatter that inventory needs would push packers to the trough before the end of the day. The lack of cash direction helped to hold Cattle futures in check, with Feeder Cattle getting extra pressure from rising corn prices.

Live Cattle futures closed narrowly mixed, from an average of 9¢ lower to an average of 37¢ higher.

Feeder Cattle futures closed an average of 46¢ lower in flea-thin trade.

Wholesale beef values were steady on Choice and sharply lower on Select, with light to moderate demand and offerings, according to the Agricultural Marketing Service.

Choice boxed beef cutout value was 5¢ lower Friday afternoon at $218.50/cwt. Select was $2.78 lower at $201.47.
