This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday, July 15th. Live cattle hold steady with underlying support in Friday trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Live cattle was firm. That strong underlying support is really building in spite of the fact that the grain market was higher. We were able to still get a couple of upticks in that live cattle. There's better cash trade today. It gave some relief to some of the traders in offering some short-term stability and we're comfortably off our lows right now and just kind of creeping up hoping that we can continue to build, certainly, more support. There is some concerns though because the feeders were lower, actually a lot lower and it's just showing that the optimism is kind of losing a little bit of traction especially because the grains had a jump up as well. Interestingly enough, that USDA report that came out yesterday was bearish and yet the market and corn and wheat and soybeans rallied yesterday and continued to rally today."
