Cattle futures gained on Thursday, helped by the early promise shown in cash-fit cattle trade.
Toward the close, live cattle futures were an average of $1.77 higher, and feeder cattle futures were an average of $3.78 higher.
Negotiated cash-fed cattle trade was limited on light demand in Nebraska through Thursday afternoon, according to the Agricultural Marketing Service.
Although too few transactions to trend, there were some early dress trades at $3.45 to $3.55. Trade was limited on moderate demand in the Western Corn Belt.
Choice box beef cutout value was $2.52 lower Thursday afternoon and at $373.98 a hundredweight.
Select was $5.85 lower at $3.5262. Corn and soybean futures were lower again Thursday with continued harvest pressure Through late afternoon and through the front four contracts, corn futures were 2 to 4 cents lower, Kansas City wheat futures were 2 cents lower, and soybean futures were 11 to 13 cents lower, also pressured by higher yield estimates in Brazil.
