DTN Closing Livestock Comment 08/29 16:02 Hogs Press Onward, while Cattle Weaken Heading into Friday's trade, cattlemen will likely see a few more cash cattle sales noted, but the week's prices are established at this point. ShayLe Stewart DTN Livestock Analyst GENERAL COMMENTS: The lean hog complex was able to round out the day higher as traders were well supported by the morning's strong export report -- but the cattle complex came up short-handed as cash cattle sales have been reported at steady to $2.00 lower this week. December corn is up 5 1/4 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is up $2.60. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 243.63 points.
