Live and feeder cattle futures were lower on Wednesday, with October live cattle down $0.22 to $121.77 while corn prices rose. Cash cattle trade was light to moderate near $124 in the South, and boxed beef cutout values fell sharply.
Higher corn costs pressure feedlot margins and the futures complex, while softer boxed beef demand signals weaker packer and cattle values.
