Every GF delivery listed in 2028
GF trades 8 delivery months in 2028 (F, H, J, K, Q, U, V, X). Dates are computed from the exchange rule rather than stored. The engine counts Monday to Friday and holds no CME holiday table, so a date next to a public holiday can be one day off the exchange calendar.
The letter in a contract symbol is its delivery month: F = January, H = March, J = April, K = May, Q = August, U = September, V = October, X = November. The digit that follows is the year.

The rule that sets these dates
Trading terminates on the last Thursday of the contract month.
When the volume moves between these months
Livestock contracts follow the production calendar, so the listed months are uneven and the gap between two deliveries can be two months. The active month is the one carrying the volume.
What one tick of GF is worth
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.025, which is $12.50 per contract on a multiplier of 500. A full point is $500.00. These are the values the app itself trades on, so the rows of a GF footprint and the P&L on a GF position come from the same numbers.
