This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday, Sep 23rd. Cattle is lower Friday as traders brace for the on-feed report next week. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "The cattle was lower. Traders are really bracing for the on-feed report coming today right after the close. Very little adjustments from the USDA to the estimates right now. That kind of means that the expected impact should be relatively minimal. So, today the market was kind of quiet and we did have some slippage a little bit later in the day. That isn't much of an indication because it seems traders are really positioning for the report right now. Feeders did slip as well. The uptrend is still intact though so I think that it could be the real leader for the beef side anyway. Higher cash trade today and yesterday as trader are really positioning themselves right at the last minute and this USDA numbers are going to be really important."
