     The Livestock Markets were all higher today. The Fats gained over a buck today. October'25 Live Cattle were 1.12 ½ higher today and settled at 232.27 ½. Today's high was 234.10 and the 1-month and contract high are 242.07 ½. Today's low was 229.37 ½ and the 1-month low is 225.25. Since 8/11 October'25 Live Cattle are 6.30 higher or almost 3%. The Feeders were up a couple bucks as well. The October'25 Feeder Cattle were 1.95 higher today and settled at 352.35. Today's high was 354.67 ½ and the 1-month and contract high are 369.37 ½. Today's low was 347.50 and the 1-month low is 337.37 ½. Since 8/11 October'25 Feeder Cattle are 12.92 ½ higher or almost 4%. The Hogs traded higher again today. October'25 Hogs were 1.35 higher today and settled at 98.17 ½. Today's high was 98.45 and that is the new contract high as well. Today's low was 96.95 and the 1-month low is 88.52 ½. Since 8/11 October'25 Lean Hogs are 6.40 higher or almost 7%. The Cattle Markets were all higher today, but that was not the case earlier in the day. The Cattle Markets are still trying to figure out what to do after the Funds began to liquidate and roll part of their long position. I still like the downside for now with the open interest in October'25 falling another 13,775 contracts yesterday, and the open interest still 104,920 contracts. There could be more selling tomorrow before the weekend. There are two more Trades below. Once again, if you buy Livestock, Hedge your Livestock. Have a great night.

     The Grain Markets were all higher today, with a short covering rally before the WASDE Report tomorrow. The Beans were up over a dime at one point today. November'25 Soybeans were 8 ¼ cents higher today and settled at 10333 ½. Today's high was 1035 ¾ and the 1-month high is 1062 ¾. Today's low was 1022 ¾, and the 1-month low is 994. Since 8/11 November'25 Soybeans are 22 ¼ cents higher or more than 2%. The Corn Market forced a small gain today. December'25 Corn was 2 ¾ cents higher today and settled at 419 ¾. Today's high was 421 ¼ and the 1-month high is 424 ¾. Today's low was 416 ½ and the 1-month and contract low are 392. Since 8/11 December'25 Corn is 12 cents higher or almost 3%. The Wheat Market looked good today, for a change. December'25 Wheat was 6 ½ cents higher today and settled at 521 ½. Today's high was 522 ¼ and the 1-month high is 535 ½. Today's low was 512 and that is the new contract low as well. Since 8/11 December'25 Wheat is 14 cents lower or almost 3%. The Grains had modest gains as we wait for the WASDE Report tomorrow. I still think we can see a Bullish Number in the Corn, with the 188.8 USDA Number looking like it could be too high with the reports of rust, dryness and too cold in the Northern Corn Belt. Any Trade Deal News would be welcomed by all of the Grain Markets. We will see how things work out tomorrow. If you have any questions for me, give me a call. Have a great night.
