GENERAL COMMENTS:

   The livestock complex closed mixed, with traders simply trying to reassess
where the market sits after the Christmas break. New showlists appear to be
higher in Nebraska/Colorado and Texas, and somewhat higher in Kansas. March
corn is down 7 3/4 cents per bushel, and March soybean meal is down $4.10. The
Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 249.04 points, and the NASDAQ is down
118.75 points.
