COMMENTS:  A little scattered live trade in the South today at $171, 
$3 lower than last week's weighted averages. A handful of dressed business 
was reported in parts of Nebraska at $271, $4 lower than the prior week's 
weighted average. Keep in mind that this is early and very light sales, so it 
is not necessarily setting the trend for the week.
