This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday, January 19th. Cattle continue to on the plus side in trading Thursday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Larry Shover ...

Larry Shover ... "After being up-limit yesterday, live cattle continues to push gains. You've got the February contract up about .90 cents, feeder up about .70 cents. Again, that's on the back of being up near-limit yesterday. Also, feeder cattle skyrocketing really caught a lot of people off guard. When you consider consensus continues to worry about record inventories especially with the placements going forward. Yesterday's news was boxed values were down on the day in both choice and select. Slaughter rates also down, at least comparing week-on-week what consensus was expecting to see."
