At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live cattle were up, supported by the week’s stronger cash business. Feeders were under pressure from the higher move in corn. June lives closed $.05 higher at $167.35 and August lives closed $.40 higher at $165.17. August feeders closed $.77 lower at $233.92 and September feeders closed $.97 lower at $237.10.
Direct cash cattle trade activity was quiet on Friday following the light, scattered round of business that took place on Thursday.
