Cattle Commentary: The bulk of cash cattle last week checked in at 125 live and 205 dressed, steady with the previous week and a bit of a disappointment for the perma-bulls. Friday’s Cattle on Feed report was as follows: On-Feed 100%, Placements 95%, Marketings 103%; this was right in line with expectations and like cash trade, a bit of a disappointment. These two factors erased the gains from Friday afternoon. Friday’s Commitment of Traders report showed funds bought 6,587 futures through March 5th, extending their net long position to 129,163 contracts. This is a lot of length for the funds, leaving risk open to long liquidation.
