Compared to last Friday, August live cattle futures ended the week 3.37 lower at 106.38 and October 1.50 lower at 105.90. Feeder cattle futures for August were 1.27 lower at 140.50 and 2.19 lower at 140.03 for September.

There were also several loads of 918 pound yearling steers coming off of grass that sold at an average price of 145.30. …
