DTN COMMENTS: Still just a few bids on the table in parts of Nebraska
and Texas, but they remain well below current asking prices of around
$184 to $185 in the South, and $295-plus in the North. Significant trade
volume will likely be delayed until sometime Friday.
Today's slaughter totaled 118,000 head, 6,000 less than a week ago, and
4,000 below a year ago. Cattle futures closed modestly to sharply higher
on live contracts, up 5 to 105. Feeder issues ended the day sharply
higher up 117 to 227. Beef cutouts are expected to close lower with light
to moderate box movement.
