Live Cattle futures closed an average of 26¢ higher.
Feeder Cattle futures closed narrowly mixed, from an average of 9¢ higher across the front half of the board to an average of 19¢ lower.
Wholesale beef values were steady to firm on moderate to fairly good demand and heavy offerings, according to the Agricultural Marketing Service.
Choice boxed beef cutout value was 46¢ higher Thursday afternoon at $209.96/cwt. Select was 15¢ higher at $206.68.
Corn futures closed mostly fractionally mixed to 1¢ lower.
