Live and feeder cattle futures closed lower ahead of the Friday Cattle Inventory report, with February live cattle down $0.95 to $115.05. Cash live cattle traded at $113 in the South, up $3 week over week, and Northern dressed deals were mostly $178.
Lower futures despite firm cash trade signal that the market is pricing in the upcoming inventory data. Feed costs rising with corn also pressure feeder values.
