This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Wednesday, March 21st. The cattle market holds steady on Tuesday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Joe Vaclavik.

VACLAVIK ... "The live cattle market traded both sides of unchanged here on Tuesday. We did post some fresh multi-week lows early in the session and then saw a little bit of a rebound. All in all, the cattle markets been under quite a bit of pressure here recently. Nearby April futures, I believe, have lost $8 a hundred weight since chopping here during the last couple of weeks. The cash cattle market maintains some strength. I believe we saw some light cash trade at $126 early this week which would be down a couple of dollars from the previous trade, but still leaves us with a futures market that is drastically undervalued relative to the cash market. We will have to see some convergence once April futures get into the delivery period during the first week of April."
