McGathey “I’m Virginia McGathey, here on the floor of the CME Group, reporting to you on the Livestock Market. A little bit of a mixed bag today, good news for the Live Cattle. Really extended its gains again, so the market really bounced off the lows from a couple of days ago. We really had overflow buying today, better cash prices and better wholesale prices and the beef trade and it really started to look very good. A lot of traders stepping in to get this market rolling.”
