DTN Midday Livestock

Cattle traders seem to have a sense of nervousness Wednesday morning after attempting to test all-time high prices during early week trade. The overall tone of the cattle market has not significantly changed, but with current price levels, there seems to be a growing sense of uneasiness across the complex. General pressure in most ag markets and the majority of commodity markets Wednesday is adding to the selling pressure seen in both cattle and lean hog futures during the first few hours of trade Wednesday morning. December corn is down 6 1/2 at $4.165 and December soybean meal is down $1.20 at $282.6. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 162.27 at 45,133.54.
