COMMENTS: Just a little cleanup trade was reported today. This week 
Southern live trade has been at $214 to mostly $218, $5 to $6 higher than the 
prior week's weighted averages, while Northern dressed deals have had a range 
of $340 to $356, mostly $350, $8 higher than the previous week's weighted 
averages. As you can see business has been significantly higher and will most 
likely break the record weekly weighted averages set last week.
