Hog futures mixed at midweek

Hog futures mixed at midweek

At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live cattle were mixed, and feeders were mostly lower, waiting for direct business to develop.  June live cattle closed $.40 lower at $175.32 and August lives closed $.15 lower at $172.77.  May feeders closed $.70 lower at $240.27 and August feeders closed $.22 lower at $252.12. 

Direct cash cattle trade activity was quiet.  Bids were elusive.  Asking prices were around $184 to $185 live in the South, while still not established in the North.
