Corn, soybeans and soybean meal closed strongly higher, led by the meal market. Soybean and meal futures made new contract high closes today. Support continues to come from the bullish momentum of strong exports and less competition. KC and Chicago wheat futures tried to rally with corn/beans but faded to close poorly.

Cattle futures closed mixed with live cattle mostly lower and feeder futures mostly higher. LC have been pressured by weaker cash fed prices and lower boxed beef values. Choice beef closed down 2.13 to 208.47 and Select lost .76 to 190.91. Movement was heavy. Negotiated cash trading has been limited on lower prices -- $104-105/cwt live and $162-165/cwt dressed. Formula purchases averaged 896 pounds and $174.38/cwt.

Lean hog futures closed lower and near the day’s lows. LH was weighed down by Tuesday’s down market. FOB Plant Pork closed up 1.25 at 98.16. A huge 21% gain in the ham value was offset by significant losses in the other primal cuts. Belly value dropped 4%; Rib value fell 3.6%; butt value was down 5.5%; and loins and picnics down around 3%.
