AgHost Livestock Close

Light trade was seen through most of the day Tuesday, due in part to Veterans Day, which kept markets moving in a “yo-yo” fashion through the session. Nearby feeder cattle futures were able to etch out gains at the closing bell, while firm losses developed in live cattle contracts. Lean hog futures remained mixed in limited activity and a generally narrow trading range. Hog prices closed lower on the Daily Direct Afternoon hog report, down $1.83 with a weighted average of $82.12 on 1,860 hogs. December corn closed up 2 1/4 at $4.32 and December soybean meal closed down $3.10 at $316.9. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 559.33 at 47,927.96.
