Grains End Mixed Taking a Cue from Outside Markets, Lower Dollar While Cattle and Hogs Hit New Highs

Michelle Rook talks to Alan Brugler of Brugler Marketing to end the week.

Grains end mixed on Friday but were well off lows with a reversal in outside markets and the lower dollar, which also helped cotton. Grains continue to focus on demand, especially exports now that harvest is past the 50% mark. Live cattle scored more contract highs in October and December ahead of the Cattle on Feed report. Hogs scored new highs with support from higher cash. Michelle Rook gets details with Alan Brugler of Brugler Marketing.
