TEXAS COLORADO . . . . . IOWA . . . . . *PRIVATE SOURCES DTN COMMENTS: The cash cattle market is quiet as no bids have been renewed. Given that cattle have traded in both the North and the South, it's likely the week's business is done. But some trade could shake loose in the South as packers and feedlots have been in an intense standoff throughout most of the week. Unless packers up their bids to $140, it's most likely feedlots will carry their cattle over into next week.
