This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday, Sept 21st. A mixed bag in Thursday cattle trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Terry Roggensack.

ROGGENSACK ... "December cattle trading at a $7 to $8 dollar premium to the cash market. Normally, at this time of year, we'd be trading at about a $2.50 premium to the market. Fourth quarter beef production expected to be up significantly from the third quarter, something that's a contra-seasonal move and fourth quarter beef production expected to be up 5.7% from a year ago. Cheap corn and the premium structure of the futures market gives producers an incentive to feed those cattle out to even heavier weights that adds to the production and could be considered a bearish force."
