Cattle futures up heading into Friday

At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live and feeder cattle were higher ahead of the week’s direct business.  Feeders had additional support from the lower move in corn. June live cattle closed $.05 higher at $175.37 and August live cattle closed $.75 higher at $173.52.  May feeder cattle closed $2.27 higher at $242.55 and August feeder cattle closed $2.17 higher at $254.30.   

It was another sluggish day for direct cash cattle business.  Bids were few and far between at $180 live in Texas and $290 to $291 dressed in Nebraska.
