Live and feeder cattle closed lower on October 22 ahead of USDA's Friday On Feed report. Cash cattle traded at about $105 live and $164 dressed, and feeder calf and yearling sales at Sheridan, Nebraska were steady to lower.
Choice boxed beef closed $0.39 higher at $208.86.
Lower futures and softer feeder auction prices point to weaker cattle values heading into the On Feed report, while firmer boxed beef provides some offset for feedlot margins.
