Significant trade volume will likely be delayed until the second half of the week. New showlists appear to be mixed, higher in Nebraska/Colorado, somewhat higher in Kansas, but lower in Texas. Today's slaughter totaled 112,000 head, 8,000more than last week, but 8,000 less than a year ago. Cattle futures closed sharply higher on both live (up 95 to 227) and feeder (200 to 287) contracts. Beef cutouts are expected to close higher with light to moderate box movement.
