IOWA . . . . . *=PRIVATE SOURCES DTN COMMENTS: Feedlot country is close to a standstill this afternoon with just a few deals reported in parts of the North. Our guess is that trading is essentially done for the week. Today's slaughter totaled 120,000, 7,000 greater than last week, and 3,000 more than a year ago. Cattle futures closed moderately lower, thanks to long liquidation and a general lack of buying interest. Beef cutouts are expected to close lower with light to moderate box movement.
