NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Cattleman's, Inc.
("Cattleman's") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form
10-Q and are unaudited.   The statements include all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) which Cattleman's considers necessary for a fair
presentation of the interim periods.  The accounting policies followed by
Cattleman's and additional footnotes are included in Cattleman's fiscal 1996
annual report on Form 10-K.

This 10-Q is written with the presumption that the users of the interim
financial statements have read or have access to Cattleman's Form 10-K, which
contains the latest audited financial statements and notes thereto, together
with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations as of April 28, 1996 and for the year then ended.  Only material
changes in financial condition and results of operations are discussed in the
remainder of Part I.

Cattleman's interim operating results may be subject to substantial
fluctuations which do not necessarily occur or recur on a seasonal basis.  Such
fluctuations are normally caused by competitive and other conditions in the
cattle and boxed beef markets over which Cattleman's has little or no control.
Therefore, the results of operations for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be attained for the full fiscal year.


2.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Cattleman's is involved in various disputes incident to the ordinary course of
its business.  In the opinion of management, any liability for which provision
has not been made relative to the various lawsuits, claims or administrative
proceedings pending against Cattleman's should not have a material adverse
effect on its financial position.

ITEM 2   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - First Quarter - Fiscal 1997

COMPARISON OF THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JULY 28, 1996 TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JULY
30, 1995

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 1996 and July 30, 1995 were
$32,473,000 and $33,103,000, respectively.  Sales dollars dropped 2% due to a
decrease in gross tonnage sold offset by an increase in the sales price per
pound.  Retail sales, as a percent of total sales, increased approximately 1.0
percent over the prior period.

Cost of Goods Sold for the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 1996 and July 30, 1995
was $31,011,000 and $31,386,000, respectively, a decrease of $378,000.  This
represents 95.5% and 94.8% of sales for the respective periods.  This increase
of .7% resulted primarily from higher prices for beef carcasses during the
quarter ended July 28, 1996.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the thirteen weeks ended July
28, 1996 and July 30, 1995 were $1,139,000 and $1,109,000, respectively.  These
costs remained relatively stable.

Earnings from operations totaled $323,000 for this quarter as compared to
$608,000 for the quarter ended July 30, 1995.

Interest expense totaled $176,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 1996,
up from $155,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 1995.  The increase
resulted primarily from higher average interest rates and higher average
balances on our long and short-term debt instruments.

Net Income for the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 1996 totaled $95,000 compared
to $290,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 1995.  The $195,000 decrease
resulted primarily from lower margins in both the processing and retail
operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash Provided From Operations  for the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 1996,
totaled $1.2 million dollars.  These monies were generated mainly from net
income ($.1 million), seasonal decreases in inventory ($1.1 million), decreases
in prepaids ($.2 million) offset by an increase in accounts receivable ($.3
million) and a decrease in accrued expenses ($.1 million).  Cash provided from
operations was primarily used to reduce the long-term debt.  Cash provided from
operations in the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 1995 totaled $1.4 million.
These funds were primarily used to reduce the long-term debt.

Investing Activity for the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 1996 and July 30, 1995
was $402,000 and $123,000, respectively.   Funds were used primarily for
improvements to and equipment in the processing facility.

Financing Activity During the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 1996 Cattleman's
repaid $1.4 million of debt, net of borrowings.
