Livestock

Posted 11:40 -- August live cattle are up $0.05 at $210.55, August feeder cattle are up $0.85 at $300.625, July lean hogs are down $0.80 at $101.25, July corn is down 3 cents per bushel and July soybean meal is down $3.20. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 277.22 points and NASDAQ is down 191.53 points. There's a single bid currently on the table at $218 in Kansas, but still no cattle have traded Friday. It will be a busy afternoon for the cattle complex as the market needs to see more cattle trade and as the monthly Cattle on Feed report will be released.

Posted 08:36 -- August live cattle are down $0.48 at $210.025, August feeder cattle are down $0.50 at $299.275, July lean hogs are down $0.68 at $101.375, July corn is down 4 1/2 cents per bushel and July soybean meal is down $2.90. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 486.46 points and NASDAQ is down 304.80 points. The fed cash cattle market will need to see more trade develop today -- especially in the South where the week's movement has been extremely light thus far. Asking prices are still elusive and bids have not been renewed at this point.
