Live cattle futures were mixed on November 2 with December live cattle down $0.72 and feeder futures lower, as direct cash trade stayed quiet and bids had not yet appeared. Choice boxed beef closed $0.79 higher at $209.44 on good demand.
Lean hog futures closed mostly higher on the steady cash trade.
Routine futures moves and a quiet cash market give little new signal for feed demand, though firmer boxed beef and hog prices support livestock demand for feed.
