Total trade volume was also lower in Kansas, Nebraska and Texas: KS 82,536(-6,773), NE 66,943(-7,582), TX 71,920(-8,421). New showlists appear to be mixed, higher in Kansas, somewhat higher in Nebraska/Colorado, but somewhat lower in Texas. Bids and asking prices are yet to be established, and significant trade volume will likely be delayed until the second half of the week. Beef cutouts are mixed at midday (Choice 316.24 +1.54, Select 306.91 -0.23), with light box movement (24.37 lds of choice cuts, 9.23 lds of select cuts, 6.96 lds of trim, and 6.07 lds of ground). Cattle futures are not available today due to the federal holiday.
