Cattle markets remain firm, with tight supplies continuing to support both live and feeder futures. Cash trade is steady, reflecting strong underlying demand.
In the grains, corn is mixed as planting expectations build, with pressure from slower export demand.
Soybeans are slightly higher, supported by strength in soybean oil tied to renewable diesel demand.
Wheat is trading lower, weighed down by improved global conditions and ongoing competition in export markets.
Overall tone: livestock continues to lead, grains are mixed, and markets are focused on weather and planting progress across the Midwest.
