GENERAL COMMENTS:

   The livestock complex closed mostly lower Friday afternoon as traders were
mindful of the decline in the equity markets and were anxious to see what was
going to be unveiled in Friday's Cattle Inventory report. Thankfully, both the
Cattle Inventory report and fed cash cattle prices were supportive to the
marketplace. March corn is down 2 1/2 cents per bushel and March soybean meal
is down $2.40. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 179.09 points and the
NASDAQ is down 223.30 points.
