GENERAL COMMENTS:

   The cattle contracts plummeted lower through Thursday's end as the market
remains unable to gain strong footing. Some light cash cattle trade was noted
in the North at $350 which is steady with last week's weighted average. Do note
that on Friday the monthly Cattle on Feed report is set to be released.
December corn is down 3 3/4 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is up
$5.70. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 316.14 points and NASDAQ is up
439.88 points.
