DTN Closing Livestock Comment 05/04 16:07 Livestock Markets Close Higher The livestock complex aimed to take Monday all the way higher through closing, and sure enough the markets were able to pull it off. ShayLe Stewart DTN Livestock Analyst GENERAL COMMENTS: Monday served the livestock complex well -- all three markets closed higher, with the lean hog market closed substantially higher.

July corn is down 3 cents per bushel and July soybean meal is down $4.10. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 26.07 points and NASDAQ is up 105.77 points.
