Cattle, hog futures under pressure to start the week

At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live and feeder cattle were lower ahead of the week’s direct cash business.  February live cattle closed $1.05 lower at $156.85 and April lives closed $.92 lower at $160.87.  March feeders closed $1.45 lower at $184.77 and April feeders closed $.85 lower at $188.77. 

It was a quiet start to the holiday-shortened week for direct cash cattle business.  Showlists this week are higher across all major feeding areas.
