ShayLe Stewart DTN Livestock Analyst GENERAL COMMENTS It was a non-eventful day for the livestock complex as the grain market gained a second wind early in the day, pushing the cattle contracts lower and the lean hog market traded only mildly higher.

December corn is up 6 1/4 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is down $3.30. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 79.75 points.
