This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday, November 17th The cattle market continues a downward trend. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Joe Vaclavik ...

Joe Vaclavik ... "Live cattle market was mostly lower here on Thursday and has generally trended lower since topping out earlier this month. You know, the cash market has been here. I think we've seen short-term tops in the cash cattle market and also in the boxed beef market. We saw cash cattle trade up, I think as high as $125 at one point during the past couple of weeks. We've now reverted back to that $119-$120 level. The boxed beef market, after a nice run up into the $210-$220 range in choice boxes has reverted back a little bit lower. So, I think we found some short-term tops in both of those markets."
