Live cattle and feeder cattle reached new contract highs in the week ending October 28, though most contracts sold off by Friday. Cash fed cattle traded $2 higher at $150 live in Texas and Kansas, and $152 to $155 in the North.
Lean hogs fell for the week, while Choice boxed beef rose $9.55.
Higher cash fed cattle trade supports futures and the cattle complex's price outlook. Weakness in lean hogs reflects softer pork demand and pressure on hog margins.
