This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday, May 25th. The cattle market is mixed on Thursday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Larry Shover.

SHOVER ... "Overall, the cattle complex was mixed. Front month, 32 ½ to 52 ½ cents lower. Back months were slightly higher. August was actually close to the nearest low of the day down at 52 ½ cents. However, a brilliant bounce back in the market, 5 days, 3.13 %. Still struggling though with a 7 ½ % loss year-to-date. Wholesale boxed beef market was definitely mixed. We had choice boxes down $1.07 today at $229.01. On the other hand, select boxes were .14 cents higher at $205.18."
