   Cash Cattle Traded Steady to $2 Higher Again This Week

   Thankfully the livestock complex closed Friday's market mostly higher as
fundamental support finally surfaced and gave traders what they needed.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   The livestock complex rounded out the day higher thanks to the added support
of stronger cash cattle prices and better demand for pork cuts. Heading into
next week's market, the cash cattle complex could trade higher again as packers
weren't overly aggressive in this week's market. March corn is up 5 cents per
bushel and January soybean meal is down $3.70. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
is down 123.19 points
