   Feedlots Seem More Anxious To Sell

   Cattle futures rebounded Monday because contracts were oversold relative to
cash. Liquidation can move the market more than it should and the price needs
to correct. Hogs showed pressure during the day, but were able to close mixed.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   The anticipation that feedlots may be more anxious to move cattle now that
higher trend for cash may have ceased may come to fruition. Showlists are
higher, indicating a greater desire to sell cattle. No bids or offers were
posted Monday, leaving traders guessing about price direction. Boxed beef
prices were higher with choice up $1.63 and select up $1.02. Even though cattle
futures bounced Monday, the downtrend is still intact. Traders may be cautious
about buying into the market aggressively until they see cash trade develop.
Feeder cattle bounced but prices in the country were lower last week and
remained that way Monday.
