GENERAL COMMENTS:

   The livestock complex had a rather successful day as all three of the
markets closed higher as traders eagerly jumped into the new week. New
showlists appear to be mixed, higher in Nebraska/Colorado, about steady in
Kansas, and lower in Texas. March corn is down 5 1/2 cents per bushel and March
soybean meal is down $3.40. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 32.26 points
and the NASDAQ is up 31.71 points.
