Live Cattle

Live cattle futures were able to get some meaningful traction yesterday, which keeps the door open for a potential retest of the contract highs, 154.20-154.25.  If outside markets continue to stabilize, that could continue to offer support to cattle futures.  

Seasonal Trend in Play:  April live cattle have been higher from October 5th-November 11th for 13 of the last 15 years.

Coming Soon:  Seasonal Trend Alert for February Live Cattle that starts on November 27th.  Contact us for more information.

Feeder Cattle

Chop. Chop.  That's been the name of the game recently in feeder cattle futures.  We don't have a lot of conviction on either side, but if corn were to breakdown, we would think that could be supportive to feeders, with little resistance until 182.435-182.925.

Coming Soon:  Seasonal Trend Alert for January Feeder Cattle that starts on November 27th.  Contact us for more information.
