CME live cattle futures fell on Wednesday as boxed beef cutout values declined ahead of the US Labor Day holiday. Feeder cattle ended mixed, and lean hog futures closed higher as consumers may be trading down to cheaper pork.
Weaker wholesale beef weighed on live cattle, while pork's gain on trade-down demand supports hog values. Feed buyers face softer cattle values but firmer pork demand.
