US live cattle and feeder cattle futures firmed on July 28, 2020, with August live cattle settling 0.475 cents higher at 100.900 cents per pound. Traders expected higher cash prices for slaughter-ready cattle as show lists shrank, and feeder futures gained as corn futures fell on expectations of a large autumn harvest.
Smaller show lists support cash cattle prices, and cheaper corn improves feedlot margins, which supports demand for feeder cattle and their futures prices.
