Live cattle futures closed 5 to 35 cents lower after a volatile Monday session, with cash trade reported at $208-210 in the South and $212-214 in the North. The CME Feeder Cattle Index fell $3.12 to $289.30 on April 18.
USDA's Cattle on Feed report showed April 1 inventory down 1.59% to 11.638 million head, with heifers at a five-year low share.
A smaller heifer share on feed points to tighter future beef supplies that support cattle prices, though the short-term move reflects fund liquidation and equity weakness.
