Cattle futures continued to soften Friday, pressured in part by a lack of positive news, deterioration in Lean Hog futures and perhaps positioning ahead of the monthly Cattle on Feed report.
Live Cattle futures closed an average of 47¢ lower.
Feeder Cattle futures closed an average of 66¢ lower.
Wholesale beef values were higher on moderate to good demand and light to moderate offerings, according to the Agricultural Marketing Service.
Choice boxed beef cutout value was $1.11 higher Friday afternoon at $207.93/cwt. Select was $1.89 higher at $194.24.
