DTN Closing Livestock Comment 04/05 15:45 Cattle, Feeder Prices Fall To Two-Month Lows Friday As Influenza Concerns Persist June live cattle closed down $3.80 and May feeders were down $5.70, both ending the week at their lowest prices in two months with ongoing concerns about avian influenza in dairy cattle. June lean hogs had the opposite experience, closing up $2.90 Friday at their highest June close in over a year. Todd Hultman DTN Lead Analyst GENERAL COMMENTS: June live cattle and May feeder cattle finished lower three out of five days this week, ending at their lowest closes in over two months as traders remain spooked by concerns of influenza in older dairy cattle. June lean hogs finished the week with their highest close in over a year as packers continued to bid up cash hogs.
