Chicago live cattle futures settled near contract highs on April 29, with June live cattle at 210.200 cents/lb and August feeder cattle at 296.900 cents/lb. Lean hogs fell, with June closing at 99.450 cents/lb as spread trading shifted money out of hogs and into cattle.
Strong cattle futures and firm boxed beef support demand for feeder cattle and corn-based feed, while weak hog futures reflect a cash market that has not yet caught up to deferred prices.
