DTN Closing Livestock Comment 03/27 15:43
   Cattle Find Mild Support Ahead of Wednesday's Close

   Thursday will be a busy day for the livestock complex with the market
needing to see more cash cattle traded, and the Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report
will be shared as well.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   The cattle contracts were able to close slightly higher following Tuesday's
sharp descent. The cash cattle market still hasn't seen much trade develop --
but packer interest should improve by Thursday. Hog prices closed lower on the
Daily Direct Afternoon Hog Report, down $1.37 with a weighted average price of
$79.26 on 3,044 head. May corn is down 5 3/4 cents per bushel and May soybean
meal is down $0.80. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 477.75 points.
