Chicago Mercantile Exchange cattle futures rose for a second straight session on Monday, supported by tight supplies and technical buying. Beef prices turned higher after a month-long decline, despite negative beef plant margins. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported a choice boxed beef cutout value rose to $363.34 per hundredweight, with packer losses estimated at $220.75 per head.
