   Cattle Close Higher Thanks to Stronger Beef Demand

   With boxed beef prices stronger, both the live cattle and feeder cattle
contracts were able to close higher.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   The cattle contracts ended the day stronger as consumer demand was strong.
New showlists appear to be mixed, higher in Kansas and Nebraska/Colorado, but
lower in Texas. July corn is up 2 3/4 cents per bushel and July soybean meal is
up $0.70. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 468.77 points and the NASDAQ
is up 795.10 points.
