Live Cattle futures continued their upward trajectory as strong fundamentals and rising boxed beef prices supported the market. April Live Cattle futures gained 2.95 to settle at 244.57, while February and June contracts also posted notable increases. Feeder Cattle futures followed suit, with the March contract climbing 5.68 to 373.60. Market support for feeders was bolstered by a slower slaughter pace and technical interest in filling a significant chart gap. Lean Hog futures achieved a new contract high, driven by rising pork cutout values and robust demand. April Lean Hogs rose 1.65 to 99.80, though the market saw a slight cooling toward the end of the session as selling interest emerged at the highs.
