COMMENTS:  A typically quiet Monday with the cash cattle trade at a 
near standstill. Just a handful of trade was reported sold in Texas at $255, 
certainly not enough to establish and accurate trend for the week. Bids and 
asking prices have yet to be established and significant trade will likely 
be delayed until later in the week.
