Texas feeder cattle auctions were higher and November feeder cattle futures closed at $159.70/cwt. Fed cattle cash traded at $120.00/cwt and corn cash and December futures both gained 2 cents, while wheat slipped a penny.
Choice boxed beef rose $4.07 to $207.39/cwt.
Firm feeder and fed cattle prices and a modest corn gain support feed-buyer costs for cattle operations, while lower wheat trims a possible substitute price. The moves are routine and do not signal a new supply or demand shock.
