This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Thursday, July 25th. Limited cash trade keeps live cattle steady on Wednesday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

CHRISTY ... "Cattle was steady. There's limited cash trade today so it was kind of like slow. The market was really sluggish. It actually traded on both sides of unchanged, but really just slightly up, slightly lower. As the futures really do march higher, the up-trend really is still intact and that gives support to firmer prices going forward. Just the fact that the market didn't pull back tells us that there is a little bit of strength there, albeit moving sideways, but that does tell a lot. And, certainly, the bottom is in and the market is continuing to move higher even though we today we stalled out a little bit. Now, feeders had a bounce today. The grain trade does create a lot of uncertainty with the feeder market and it was lower as the grains were higher opening up for today."
