Livestock
Posted 11:33 -- August live cattle are down $3.53 at $243.725, August feeder cattle are down $3.10 at $360.55, July lean hogs are down $0.43 at $101.725, July corn is down 10 cents per bushel and July soybean meal is down $2.10. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 468.42 points and the NASDAQ is up 277.67 points. Without enough fundamental support having developed, the livestock contracts are trading lower. Still no bids have surfaced in the fed cash cattle market, and it's looking like the week's trade could be delayed until the bitter end of the week.
