   Traders Hit the Pause Button Until Fundamental Support Surfaces

   It was a relaxed day for the livestock complex as traders weren't full
heartedly involved in the marketplace Tuesday as they patiently wait to see
what else surfaces fundamentally this week.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was lackadaisical day all throughout the livestock complex as traders
weren't willing to advance the contracts without ample fundamental support,
which didn't come to fruition throughout Tuesday's trade. No cash cattle trade
developed throughout the day, but asking prices are known in the South at $205
plus. May corn is down 2 1/4 cents per bushel and May soybean meal is down
$4.40. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 260.32 points.
