Live cattle and feeder cattle futures fell on liquidation ahead of the week's direct cash cattle trade, while lean hogs were supported by higher midday pork trade. Boxed beef closed firm to higher, and the estimated cattle slaughter was 118,000 head.
Feeder cattle at Oklahoma auctions were $4 to $7 lower.
Lower feeder and live cattle values and steady boxed beef point to mixed cattle demand, with limited direct impact on grain and feed demand from this routine session wrap.
