SEE FRIDAY'S DAILY DIRECT SLAUGHTER CATTLE 
NEGOTIATED PURCHASES SUMMARIES BELOW

DTN COMMENTS:   Formula totals for last week were lower in all major feeding 
areas: KS 55,032(-10,721), NE 43,843(-11,475), TX 46,120(-27,055). Total 
trade volume was also lower in all major feeding states:  KS 58,657(-10,913), 
NE 67,381(-5,767), TX 50,749(-24,513). New showlists appear to be mixed, 
higher in Kansas, nearly steady in Nebraska/Colorado, but lower in Texas. 
Bids and asking prices have yet to be established, and significant trade 
volume will likely be delayed until the second half of the week.

Beef cutouts are higher at midday (Choice 370.65 +3.83, Select 353.98 +2.93), 
with light box movement (24.23 lds of choice cuts, 3.25 lds of select cuts, 
0.00 lds of trim, and 5.26 lds of ground). Cattle futures are mixed, mostly 
lower on both live and feeder contracts at midday.
