Feeder Cattle Prices

2,020 Head Sold: August 22 to September 9

LIVE CATTLE 

Live Cattle prices have continued to slide since the start of the month, with $180 showing resistance. October and December Fats have seen support around $174, but expect sellers to keep attacking that level as momentum still favors the Bears. Acceptance below opens the door to more selling with Bears targeting $170. But until we get that breakdown we could see prices stick around this $174-180 range. 

FEEDER CATTLE

The first week of the month saw Feeders getting pressed back down to $230 on the October contract. This $230-240 price range has been sticky, look for prices to continue trading around this area. Bears still have the upper hand in this market so stay defensive. Offers below $230 bring on a new wave of selling. 

CORN

December Corn has enjoyed a nice relief rally to $4.15 to start the month. Price has seen resistance at the 50 day average so be prepared for  Bears to drive prices lower. Crop Production will be released on 9/12 so that could bring on some new volatility to this slow market.
