This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Tuesday, July 9th. Despite expectations, the cash cattle market is sluggish to start the week. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "The weaker values has caused some concern that there's a weakening of underlying support especially throughout the summer. Now, we're going to be looking for beef demand to be more of the focus and if we can get a little bit more of that maybe that might hold the market off from really slipping much further. Feeders were a little bit lower as well. Volatile grain prices are really causing some uncertainty. Now, for a while there, as the grains were coming down, the feeders were really starting to rally and starting to build up a little bit of momentum, but as that rally has slowed down as the grains have kind of been put in check right now. So, with that bounce, if the grains start to bounce back, we can see that the feeders will maybe slow down a little bit as well."
