December live cattle closed up $0.55 at $86.22 today. Prices closed near the session high today on short covering and some fresh speculative buying.

The next downside technical objective for the bears is pushing and closing prices below solid technical support at $85.00. First resistance is seen at $86.50 and then at $86.75. First support is seen at $86.00 and then at $85.75.
