Grains have turned mixed at midday while the cattle complex is under heavy selling pressure. Mike Castle, Senior Commodities Economist at StoneX, joins us for a look at the midday market trade as we near the holiday weekend.

The cattle complex was down sharply on Thursday as it appears multiple factors (the lockout at Cargill in Fort Morgan, CO, upcoming Cattle on Feed Report, etc) had a hand in limit lower feeder cattle and big losses in live cattle. The grains and oilseeds also saw more selling pressure as we near the weekend holiday. Bryan Doherty with Total Farm Marketing joins us to discuss the Thursday trade action and share market perspective. Find more online by visiting https://www.totalfarmmarketing.com.
