This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Tuesday, Sept 18th. Cattle stays strong while trading both sides of unchanged Monday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "We were wondering if the market was going to hold up after that big rally on Friday, but it's another new record high that we were able to breach just enough to let us know that it's here to stay. The futures really reached that new six month high with strong demand that's continuing a lot of short covering, some technical buying and that's keeping the market moving. Very stong movement after weeks and weeks of the market really just hovering in a particular channel. So, this breakout was really significant and it also helped the feeders as well. The feeders were steady today, but they did trade on both sides of the market. The momentum is adding some support to the futures and so that's giving it somewhat of a lift."
