DTN Ag Host Midday Livestock

The livestock complex is mixed heading into Tuesday’s noon hour as the cattle contracts remain on edge upon hearing about yet another new case of New World screwworm detected just 60 miles south of the Texas border. But with the increase of consumer demand, the lean hog contracts are trading higher. Still no cash cattle trade has developed. May corn is up 1 3/4 cents per bushel and July soybean meal is down $1.00. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 82.22 points and NASDAQ is down 50.72 points.
