DTN Closing Livestock Comment 05/06 15:59 Boxed Beef Prices Close Higher; Livestock Contracts Close Lower The livestock complex rounded out the day Monday on a weaker note. However, seeing boxed beef prices close higher left cattlemen with the hope beef demand is improving. ShayLe Stewart DTN Livestock Analyst GENERAL COMMENTS: The livestock complex closed lower as traders weren't overly eager to support the livestock sector.
