This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Tuesday, Aug 14th. Cash trade hits Cattle futures hard on Monday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGathey ... "Today, the cattle was falling. It seems that the quiet cash trade is really weighing on futures a little bit, that the bids may not come until maybe Wednesday or Thursday so not much happening right now. The hot weather really hasn't been a factor yet and traders are expecting that change can happen quickly so we're watching that closely. The market is just off somewhat, but overall it's really been pretty good. One of the reasons is that they expect that with the falling corn prices that that's stabilizing the feed prices for them and so there isn't going to be too much activity on there they can be confident that for at least the foreseeable future that these feed prices will be stable and can be profitable for them."
