E-Livestock options on CME Live Cattle and CME Lean Hog futures provide a more direct trading opportunity for hedgers who desire price level insurance protection without the physical product change, or managing a futures position, and for traders who specialize in trading price volatility.

Traditional CME Livestock products improved with the latest trading technologies
Electronically traded CME Livestock contracts – CME Live Cattle and CME Lean Hog futures and options on futures – trade simultaneously with the CME livestock products traded on the floor. So what's the advantage to trading electronically? Direct participation in the trading process. Greater efficiency. Millisecond response time. Designated market makers. Automated bookkeeping with instantaneous clearing and account balances. More specifically, CME E-Livestock options on CME Globex represent the most transparent marketplace for this instrument, online or off – with the best bids and offers continually displayed on screen.

Request for quote functionality gives you unprecedented access to market opportunities
Each trader's request for quote (RFQ) is broadcast to all participants, who can also submit orders to add liquidity – making you more competitive and allowing more participants to compete for your trades. Direct. Unfiltered. Instantaneous.
