CBOT futures closed steady to mostly higher with wheat leading the market. Wheat futures were supported by concerns that Russia may not allow Ukrainian exports after its troops destroyed a Ukrainian export facility on the Black Sea. The slow planting pace of spring wheat has been supportive. The wheat rally lifted corn futures.

Live and feeder cattle futures closed lower at near the day’s lows. Feeder cattle were pressured by the CBOT rally and that weighed on live cattle futures, as did last week’s weaker cash fed market. Boxed beef was stronger today. Choice beef closed up 2.32 at 269.58 and Select gained 1.07 to 251.09. Last week, fed steers averaged $137.84/cwt live and $221.73/cwt dressed; these were about one percent lower than the previous week’s prices. Live trade today was non-existent basis USDA comments.
Lean hog futures closed lower, adding to Friday’s losses. LH were pressured by profit-taking after futures showed topping action last week following a lengthy rally. FOB Plant Pork ended down .59 at 108.79, compared to 116.26 in the morning report. Belly value went from up 29 to up 2; ham value went from up 8 to down 2. Pork movement was strong at 321 loads.
