Hogs futures supported by demand optimism

Hogs futures supported by demand optimism

At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live cattle were mostly lower, and feeders were higher ahead of the week’s direct business.  June live cattle closed $.90 lower at $177.15 and August live cattle closed $.90 lower at $175.50.  May feeder cattle closed $.87 higher at $246.05 and August feeders closed $.92 higher at $259.40. 

Direct cash cattle trade activity was quiet again Tuesday.  Bids and asking prices weren’t established.  Showlists are mixed this week, higher in Texas, but lower in Kansas and Nebraska/Colorado.
