CBOT futures are trading mixed with the only strength located in the SOY complex. Demand for soybean meal and soybeans remains strong in the cash market. Corn and wheat futures erased early morning losses after deciding to follow soybean futures higher after the 930 am pit opening.

Cattle futures are little changed today as traders look for more cash market direction. Choice beef is up 1.08 to 250.22/cwt at midday.

Lean Hog futures are up slightly but this is the 4th straight day higher. While the pork cutout dropped Monday, this morning it’s up sharply with FOB Plant Pork up 2.97 to 96.76/cwt. Some may be concerned the falling temperatures in the middle of the country could slow down hog movement to market.
