Feeder Cattle Felt Friday Pressure

The cattle futures market was mixed on Friday with fats gaining ground to new contract highs and the feeders fading into the holiday weekend on rising feed costs. Live cattle futures settled up by 5 to 57 cents on the day, leaving June at a net $1.62 gain for the week. USDA called the bulk price for the week $171 in the South, $180-182 in the North, and $285 in the beef. Feeders were down 77 to $1.12 in the front month future contracts. That left August contracts at a net $1.17 loss for the week. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was $209.86 on 5/25, up by $1.72. 

The weekly CoT report showed managed money was adding cattle positions through the week that ended 5/23.
