NEGOTIATED PURCHASES SUMMARIES BELOW

DTN COMMENTS:  Formula totals for last week were mixed, higher in Kansas, 
but lower in Nebraska and Texas: KS 74,540(+14,295), NE 47,320(-11,991), 
TX 87,285(-4,615). Total trade volume was also mixed, higher in Kansas, 
but lower in Nebraska and Texas:  KS 89,229(+14,861), NE 71,483(-24,142), 
TX 94,793(-6,635). New showlists appear to be higher in all three major 
feeding states. Bids and asking prices have yet to be established. 
Significant trade volume will likely be delayed until Tuesday or later.

Beef cutouts are higher at midday (Choice 263.70 +1.53, Select 245.18 
+2.16), with light to moderate box movement (32.06 lds of choice cuts, 
10.54 lds of select cuts, 4.63 lds of trim, and 19.59 lds of ground). 
Cattle futures at the top of the noon hour are mixed mostly higher on live 
contracts and moderately to sharply higher on feeder issues.
