Livestock futures were mixed in the week ending June 18, 2021, after sharply lower grains and falling pork prices. Negotiated fed cattle trade rose to $124 live in the North and $122 in the South, and lean hog futures fell as pork prices collapsed and exports slowed.
Higher cash cattle prices support live cattle futures and feeder demand, while the collapse in pork values and slower exports weigh on hog prices and hog-feed demand.
