Cattle markets reacted negatively to news of a major fire at a Tyson beef processing plant near Garden City KS.  Cattle futures were down the limit and Oklahoma City reported feeder & stocker cattle 6.00 to 12.00 lower while dressed beef surged higher.

Corn was down the limit due to the USDA WASDE report that a decline in harvested acres was virtually offset by an increase in yield projections.
