Virginia McGathey of McGathey Commodities analyzes the mixed price action in the livestock markets. Live Cattle futures traded in wide daily ranges, with the June contract seeing a $6.63 spread despite cash prices gaining $2 to $4. Feeder Cattle futures continued their decline, falling $22 from their May 1 levels, even as feedlot demand remains strong with packers paying premiums. Meanwhile, Lean Hog futures staged a significant rebound, with the June contract gaining $2.28 to move back above the 100 handle. McGathey notes that higher slaughter rates are contributing to tighter supplies across the hog complex.
