CBOT futures closed strongly higher with corn and soybeans supported by a larger than expected drop in the good/excellent crop ratings released late Monday. Both corn and beans saw a 3-point decline in their Good/Excellent crop share. Wheat closed sharply higher on corrective buying after six days of lower prices had severely cut wheat futures.

Live cattle closed slightly lower while feeder futures were hit harder due to the corn price increase. The negotiated cash fed market was quiet today; however, feedlot offers are up from last week. Choice beef slid 1.54 to 267.14 and Select dropped 1.93 to 243.31. Beef movement was very strong at 154 loads.

Lean hog futures closed lower as cash hog and pork values weaken. FOB Plant Pork fell 3.56 to 105.47 with belly value down 20 to 131. Movement was strong at 322 loads.
