DTN Closing Livestock Comment 11/29 15:53 Cattle Momentum Continues Through Friday's Close Even though traders were lightheartedly engaged in Friday's market, the cash cattle market's support earlier this week helped keep both the live cattle and feeder cattle contracts higher through the day's end.

March corn is up 5 cents per bushel and January soybean meal is down $3.50. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 188.59 points
