BULLISH USDA REPORT BRINGS LIMIT UP MOVE TO CATTLE FUTURES

MEATS: 9/27/2011

Sharply higher for the live and feeder cattle while lean hogs settled lower. The December cattle and November feeder cattle contracts gapped and settled up their 300 point daily limits off the cattle on feed report from Friday afternoon. I have a feeling my sell signals won’t be lasting long! However, don’t forget my feeling about gaps in the meats. Please call if you don’t know what I mean or need a refresher. The hogs settled lower the brunt of spreading but have been attempting to base since the beginning of September. SELL SIGNALS FOR LIVE AND FEEDER CATTLE ALONG WITH LEAN HOGS. CALL FOR DETAILS!
