CME feeder and live cattle futures finished lower on profit-taking after a lengthy rally, with April live cattle down 3.45 cents to 201.5 cents per pound. Lean hogs ended slightly higher as traders unwound cattle-long, hog-short spreads, and Choice boxed beef fell $3.06 to $327.48/cwt.
Weaker boxed beef and meatpacker demand pressured cattle futures, while a tight US herd and the Mexican feeder import ban continue to support prices.
