throughout most of the week as traders are still leery about the U.S. economy
and banking systems. However, cattlemen were thankful to see a supportive
Cattle on Feed report shared Friday afternoon and now hope that it helps spur
on stronger trade early next week. Hog prices closed lower on the Daily Direct
Afternoon hog report, down $1.22 with a weighted average of $77.61 on 4,456
hogs. May corn closed up 1 1/2 at $6.343 and May soybean meal closed down $8.00
at $466.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 384.57 at 31,861.98.
