Ranch Closing Markets: Wednesday, October 7, 2026
Grain futures pulled back Wednesday, with wheat surrendering Tuesday’s rally. October live cattle edged higher, while feeder cattle and lean hogs closed lower.
- December corn settled at $5.02, down 6 cents.
- November soybeans settled at $12.97 1/2, down 5 1/2 cents.

Corn and soybeans gave back part of Tuesday’s advance as traders positioned for export sales and Friday’s crop reports. Wheat saw the heaviest selling after Tuesday’s double-digit gains. October live cattle held a small gain, but feeders weakened with a lower cash index. Hogs fell as both cash hog and wholesale pork values moved sharply lower.
