live cattle

Would anyone that has had success in trading live cattle please tell me what helped them get over the hump. Also insights on soybean and corn trading would be appreciated.

...I used a large cattle prod that seemed to do the trick (i.e. getting them over the hump)......

While this discussion might've been started in jest I do think its interesting given today's WSJ article about milk drinking going through the roof in China. Up to a few years ago, nobody drank milk. Now its suddenly become hugely popular, even replacing alchohol at cocktail parties and as the drink of choice at dinner. I think we could be at the beginning of a long upward trend in live cattle.

Nope. I think you take a receipt for live cattle stored somewhere. What you do after that with them is up to you.

To heck with cattle.

I need to know if Coffee and Unleaded Gasoline are liquid contracts!

Because I just read an article on this. Turns out Feeder Cattle and Live Cattle are just for beef...no milk.

Arizona- I have in the past traded both live cattle and feeder cattle but don't anymore. The reason is volume and the manipulation of the market by a very few large players(packers) trying to influence their incoming supply. The markets are very cyclical and seasonal. I understand that they can be followed pretty well with Elliot Wave. I have looked at this but the volume and manipulation still keeps me out. Milk is much the same way with no volume. I have been in these businesses for 50 years.

Tried cattle but also couldn't get over the hump so switched to camels.
