Significant trade volume will likely be delayed until well into the second half of the week. New showlists appear to be lower in all three major feeding states. New weighted average record highs were set last week: Live prices - KS $209.86(207.77); NE $213.70($210.69); and TX $209.66($207.83); IA $212.92 ($210.46). Dressed prices - KS $335.00($330.00); NE $335.46($329.99); IA $334.80($329.37). The prior weighted average highs are in parentheses. Today's slaughter totaled 119,000 head, 5,000 greater than last week, and 2,000 more than a year ago. Live cattle futures closed modestly to mostly moderately lower, off 15 to 105, while feeders ended the day mixed, up 30 to off 40. Beef cutouts are expected to close mixed with light to moderate box movement.
