This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday, Jan 21st. Winter weather still playing a big roll in the cattle market Friday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Today, cattle was higher. That snow storm is really driving the futures. It seems like there's a mad scramble for beef certainly on the east coast. That's kind of clearing the table for restocking so the deferred futures, you're going to see them much stronger. And, they have been super-strong, almost an overbought situation so we have to watch that closely, but the rally and the trend is still to the upside and it's still moving. It's very difficult to step in front of that slow moving rally, but we're reaching the top of the real channel that we have been at for the last, like, six months so we're not sure if we're going to breach that, but right now it's still looking very strong."
