Front month question?

[TTrue61470@xxxxxxx]

      When does Oct. become the front month in hogs and cattle? And how  can I
keep track of rollover dates for various markets in the future? 

      I have a list of dates from pinnacle that for example says the rollover
date for cattle is the 27th of the month prior to the delivery month. But I'm
not sure if this is an approximation. Also the volume and open interest from
yesterday doesn't tell me where the volume will be tomorrow.

      If your on the floor it's easy. At the CBOT there would be a big sign at
the entrance to the trading floor that would read, Nov. Beans move to the top
step today. But I never fully understood why that particular day was the day.

       Thanks in advance,
                         Todd
