	Description:		Negotiated cash fed cattle trade, undeveloped through Thursday afternoon, is setting up to be another late or after-hour affair again this week. Live Cattle futures mostly tread water, while continued anemic trade, likely month-end position squaring and pessimism about growing fed cattle supplies later in the year helped pressure Feeder Cattle. Other than 55¢ higher in spot Feb and unchanged in Jun, Live Cattle futures closed an average of 19¢ lower. Feeder Cattle futures closed an average of $1.03 lower through the front three contracts and then an average of 27¢ lower, except for 12¢ higher in Nov. Corn futures closed mostly 2¢ to 3¢ lower. Soybean futures closed mostly 3¢ to 6¢ lower. Wholesale beef values were firm on Choice and sharply higher on Select with moderate to fairly good demand and light to moderate offerings, according to the Agricultural Marketing Service. Choice boxed beef cutout value was 49¢ higher Thursday afternoon at $219.95/cwt. Select was $2.48 higher at $215.27.
