Description:

Cattle futures found some stability on Tuesday although Live Cattle edged lower, pressured in part by volatility in Lean Hog futures.

Live Cattle futures closed an average of 19¢ lower.

Except for $1.17 lower in spot May and 12¢ lower in Mar, Feeder Cattle futures closed an average of 18¢ higher.

Corn futures closed mostly 1¢ to 3¢ lower.

Soybean futures closed mostly 10¢ to 15¢ lower through Nov ’20 and then 3¢ to 9¢ lower. Apparently funds are taking advantage of the anemic fundamentals tied to bountiful supplies here and reports of a strong harvest in South America thus far.

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

Choice boxed beef cutout value was 37¢ lower Tuesday afternoon at $234.11/cwt. Select was $1.38 lower at $221.26.
