DTN Closing Livestock Comment 08/24 15:35 Traders Support Livestock Contracts Through Closing Heading into Friday's market, more cash cattle trade will need to be seen, especially in the South. ShayLe Stewart DTN Livestock Analyst GENERAL COMMENTS: All in all, it was a winning day for the livestock complex as traders supported the contracts and all three livestock markets were able to close higher Thursday. Cash cattle prices were tested in the North and prices were lower there, but that didn't have a negative effect on the futures complex. Hog prices are unavailable on the Daily Direct Afternoon Hog Report due to packer submission issues. December corn is down 2 1/4 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is up $11.30. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 252.39 points.
