Significant trade volume will likely be delayed until the second half of the week. New showlists appear to be mixed, higher in Kansas, but lower in Nebraska/Colorado and Texas. Today's slaughter totaled 118,000 head, 6,000 more than last week, but 9,000 less than a year ago. Live cattle futures closed moderately to sharply higher, up 52 to 155, while feeder issues ended the day sharply higher, up 72 to 302. Beef cutouts are expected to close mixed with light to moderate box movement.
