DTN Closing Livestock Comment 03/14 15:43 Feedlots Want More Money Heading into Friday's trade, the market will be anxious to see what the cash cattle market accomplishes. ShayLe Stewart DTN Livestock Analyst GENERAL COMMENTS: It was a mixed day for the livestock complex as the lean hog market saw mixed interest from traders while the cattle contracts fell sharply lower. The cash cattle market still has seen trade develop as feedlots remain committed to trading cattle higher again this week. Hog prices are unavailable in the Daily Direct Afternoon Hog Report due to packer submission issues. May corn is down 7 1/2 cents per bushel and May soybean meal is up $1. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 137.66 points.
