AgHost Livestock Close

It was a fruitful day for the livestock complex as all three of the markets ended the day stronger. It was especially a big-hitting week for the cattle complex as traders pushed the contracts higher through Friday's close thanks to the added support of yet-again record-breaking cash cattle prices. May corn is down 3 cents per bushel and May soybean meal is up $3.70. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 587.69 points and NASDAQ is up 266.85 points.
