AgHost Livestock Close

It was a glum day for the livestock complex as all three of the markets closed lower at Wednesday’s end. It was also disappointing to see the cash cattle market trade lower as sales were noted in the North at $372, which is $8.00 lower than the previous week’s weighted average, and some light trade was noted in Kansas at $235, which is $5.00 lower than the previous week’s weighted average. May corn is up 8 cents per bushel and May soybean meal is up $0.90. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 406.73 points and the NASDAQ is down 48.30 points.
