Recent rallies in the cattle market seem to be running out of steam. Live Cattle and Feeder Cattle futures both lower today. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here’s Virginia McGathey.

McGathey…”Cattle was a little bit lower. I think that's low cash trade just had the market start to get a little bit soft. But you know what's happened is that the more that we move sideways, the harder it was for this market to push through its resistance numbers. Now, we've been on a rally for quite some time right now, so of course it's going to need more and more better headlines to get the market continue going higher, but watching what feeders did today, the feeders did fall. The market correction seems to have begun and definitely it's going to lead the live cattle market a little bit lower as well. “
