   Cattle Complex Sees Fundamental Support

   The cattle complex received support from the day's higher-than-expected corn
production report to the robust boxed beef rally.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was a fruitful day for the cattle complex as fundamental support poured
into the marketplace, but the lean hot complex, unfortunately, can't say the
same. No cash cattle trade developed throughout the day. September corn is down
13 1/2 cents per bushel and August soybean meal is up $0.70. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average is up 483.52 points and the NASDAQ is up 296.50 points.
