NOT MUCH CHANGE VERSUS LAST WEEK IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT? A LOT OF VOLUME THOUGH...

 

Anyone out there think that OCT/FEB Live cattle is a screaming sell?

 

OCT looks way expensive versus DEC in my view.

 

moved out some more today...

 

someone apparently bot 1000 oct versus dec. talk of feedlots keeping animals on feed longer i guess reducing visible supply

 

someone was holding the Feb down all day!

 

thanks volga,i wouldnt have noticed feb. i owe you a beer
