GENERAL COMMENTS:

   All in all, it was a normal, post-holiday day for the livestock complex as
the markets traded throughout the day but nothing much developed. Some live
cash cattle trade was noted in the North, but prices remained steady with the
week's weighted average. March corn is down 1 cent per bushel and March soybean
meal is down $0.70. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 20.19 points and
NASDAQ is down 20.21 points.
