Live cattle finish mixed, feeders lower

Chicago Mercantile Exchange live cattle futures were mixed, watching the distribution of this week’s show list and getting ready for the week’s direct trade, while feeders were pressured by the higher move in corn. February live was down $.07 at $156.82 and April was unchanged at $161.82. January feeders were $.90 lower at $183.10 and March was down $1.35 at $185.40.

Direct cash cattle markets were at a standstill. This week’s show list looks larger in Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska/Colorado.
