This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday May 19th. The Cattle Market on the plus side across the board Thursday. With more from the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Joe Vaclavik ...

Vaclavik ... "Live cattle market was mostly higher after a two-sided trade here Thursday, kind of coming off an extended correction in the futures markets here and we've recovered a little bit. So, I'm not sure if the bottom is in necessarily after the sell-off, but the market acting a little bit better and certainly holding its ground. The cash cattle market has been a little bit softer here this week, but still much better than the futures market. We've still got a very wide basis. I think the majority of cash cattle trade took place in the mid-to-low 130's here this week so far and that's a far cry from the nearby June futures which are down in the 122, 123 range."
