DTN Closing Livestock Comment 02/23 15:40
   Cattle Close Lower While Hogs Inch Higher

   Heading into Tuesday's trade, the cattle complex is hoping to learn more
information about the status at the JBS plant in Greeley, Colorado, sooner
rather than later.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was a mixed day for the livestock complex as the cattle contracts closed
lower in fear of what may develop with the potential union strike at the JBS
plant in Greeley, but the lean hog contracts closed higher as demand remains
strong. New showlists appear to be mixed, lower in Kansas and Texas, but higher
in Nebraska/Colorado. March corn is steady and May soybean meal is down $1.30.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 821.91 points and the NASDAQ is down
258.80 points.
