Chicago cattle futures rise post-Thanksgiving

Chicago cattle futures rise post-Thanksgiving

After Thanksgiving, the prices for live and feeder cattle went up a little bit in Chicago.

This happened because they had lost a lot of value earlier in the week, but then some good news helped them recover.

China decided to keep looking into beef imports for two more months, which gave sellers more time.

Also, the U.S. lowered the extra taxes on beef from Brazil.

However, the prices for hogs, which are pigs raised for meat, went down a tiny bit.

The markets were closed on Thursday for the holiday and closed early on Friday.
