   Even though there was some chaos earlier in the week, the cattle contracts
were still able to see the cash market close higher this week.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   The livestock complex ended the day mixed, with cattle contracts closing
higher while hog contracts ended the day softer. No new cash cattle trade was
noted, although bids were offered by packers throughout the day. July corn is
down 11 3/4 cents per bushel and July soybean meal is up $1.80. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average is down 537.29 points and the NASDAQ is down 410.08 points.
