On the other side of the ag marketplace, what's happening with the trade for cattle and hogs?
24:07
The livestock market is green across the board.
24:09
We have fat cattle up $1.20 to $1.47. Feeder cattle up anywhere from $0.15 to $1.15. And even the hogs participating today, we have December up $0.75.
24:21
The rest of the contract month's up $1.05 to $1.30.
24:25
And this short-term movement to the upside we've seen for the cattle side of the markets, is this a reaction than the natural reaction to all of the negativity that has been on the cattle side in recent weeks?
24:38
Probably part of that.
24:39
There's also some very impressive technical signs on a chart on the cattle and the feeder cattle.
24:49
And it does seem that...
22:42
Lori, what's happening with the trade in the grains as we have the WASDE report for the month?
22:47
The grains are all substantially in the red.
22:50
We actually have Kansas City wheat down 16 cents.
22:53
Chicago's down about 12.
22:55
December corn's down 21.5.
22:56
The back month down anywhere from 6 to 18.
23:00
Soybeans down 9.75 to 10.5 across the board.
23:56
And I know that the grains are obviously in the spotlight today, but what's happening with the livestock side of the trade?
