Total trade volume is also mixed, higher in Texas, but lower in Kansas and Nebraska: KS 104,115(-14,668), NE 80,404(-6,769), TX 78,301 (+11,105). New showlists appear to be mixed, slightly higher in Texas, but lower in Kansas and Nebraska/Colorado. Both bids and asking prices have yet to be established. Significant trade volume will likely be delayed until the second half of the week. Today's slaughter totaled 117,000 head, 2,000 head more than last week, but 3,000 less than a year ago. Cattle futures closed mixed, on live contracts (off 17 to up 100) and moderately to sharply higher on feeder issues (up 20 to off 255). Beef cutouts are expected to close higher on generally light box movement.
