AgHost Livestock Close

The livestock complex closed lower Thursday afternoon as the markets are continuing to struggle to find the support they need. No new cash cattle trade developed throughout the day, but packers will need to purchase more cattle on Friday to avoid being short bought. December corn is down 6 1/2 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is down $12.10. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 398.70 points and the NASDAQ is down 445.81 points.
