ACRES CATTLE UPDATE:
Live cattle futures closed sharply
lower in a deteriorating session
again today. Aggressive selling
stimulated when the noon dressed
beef prices quoted were quoted
$l.OO to $2.00 lower. Concerns about
retail demand fueled selling
pressuring both live cattle and
feeder cattle futures. Bull
spreaders liquidated positions
today also adding weakness to the
overall tone. The seasonal uptrend

ACRES HOG UPDATE: Live
hog futures closed sharply lower
and pork belly futures closed in a
very weak mode today. The cash
market started out steady to $ .50
lower with some quotes of $l.OO
lower in early trading. The overall
cash market has settled between $
46.00 and $48.00 in today’s trade.
The first notice day for March pork
bellies will be this coming Friday,
so traders were rolling forward the
long positions in March and
placing them in May. Concerns
over large daily slaughter con
tinues to plague the market.
Estimated slaughter today was
295.000 compared with 300,000
yesterday.
