DTN Ag Host Midday Livestock

Mostly lower tones have taken over the livestock complex as there’s simply not enough fundamental support in the market for traders to confidently push the contracts higher. Asking prices are noted at $248 in Texas; but otherwise nothing has developed in the cash cattle market. December corn is down 2 3/4 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is up $1.10. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 88.02 points and NASDAQ is up 223.81 points.
