At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live cattle were mixed, and feeders were mostly lower ahead of the week’s direct cash business.  Feeders had additional pressure from the mostly higher move in corn.  October lives closed $.10 lower at $186.97 and December lives closed $.12 lower at $191.22.  October feeders closed $.32 lower at $258.82 and November feeder cattle closed $.82 lower at $262.70. 

It was a typically quiet Monday for direct cash cattle trade activity.  Showlists this week are mixed – higher in Nebraska/Colorado, somewhat higher in Texas, and lower in Kansas.
