   Feedlot Managers Again Push Fed Cattle Prices Higher

   Sales are still relatively thin in the cash market, but live cattle in the

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was a grandiose day for the livestock complex as all three of the markets
closed higher. Although the fed cash cattle market waited to trade until the
week's bitter end, feedlot managers accomplished another successful trade as
prices were higher. May corn is up 1 1/2 cents per bushel and May soybean meal
is up $1.30. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 20.10 points and NASDAQ is
up 216.90 points.
