The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 147.65 points and NASDAQ is down 80.40 points. Although both the live cattle and feeder cattle contracts are trading mildly higher, it's seeming more and more apparent that traders don't possess the support they need to really advance the cattle contracts higher. Still no cash cattle trade has developed.
