Live and feeder cattle futures were higher early Monday, with cash feeder prices continuing to climb. Cash fed cattle in the South traded mostly at $237, down $3 on the week, and boxed beef cutouts kept sliding with Choice near $371.
Hogs were lower and grains mostly lower early in the session.
Producers losing leverage and holding cattle longer may lift weights, while falling cutouts weigh on cash prices; the net effect is mixed for live cattle and firmer feeder demand.
