Significant trade volume will likely be delayed until the second half of the week. New showlists for the week appear to be lower in all three major feeding areas. Today's slaughter totaled 120,000 head, even with last week, but 5,000 below a year ago. Live cattle futures closed mostly modestly lower, off 30 to 62, while feeder issues ended the day moderately to sharply lower, off 75 to 125. Beef cutouts are expected to close higher with light to moderate box movement.
