Cattle futures closed moderately higher on October 2 on support from limited early-week cash trade, with October live cattle up $.30 to $113.97. Live cash deals were reported at $111 to $112 in Iowa and Nebraska, and feeder steer receipts were up on the week at Nebraska auctions.
Limited cash trade supported futures, but industry concern about a coming surge in cattle production next year limits the upside for feeder and live cattle prices.
