Wheat and soybean futures are higher while corn is holding steady.  Soybeans are supported by strong demand, technical strength, and fund buying.  Wheat is up the most on a percentage basis.  Corn futures are lagging as export demand is weak as indicated by a cancellation of a previous export sale.

  Cattle futures are steady to firm as bullish cash market optimism provides support.

  Lean hog futures are near steady.  The Pork Cutout dropped $1.23 to 87.41 on Tuesday. Expect more profit-taking to limit gains in LH futures.
