SEE FRIDAY'S DAILY DIRECT SLAUGHTER CATTLE 
NEGOTIATED PURCHASES SUMMARIES BELOW

DTN COMMENTS:   A typical Monday afternoon with the cash trade at a 
complete standstill. Bids and asking prices have yet to be established. 
Significant trade volume will likely be delayed until Wednesday or later. 
New showlists appear to be mixed, somewhat higher in Kansas, higher in 
Texas, but somewhat lower in Nebraska. 
 
Today's slaughter totaled 112,000 head, 7,000 more than last week, and 
24,000 greater than last year. Cattle futures closed mostly lower on live 
contracts off 70 to up 17. While feeder issues ended the day mostly higher 
up 62 to off 25 (spot April was the only feeder contract to close lower). 
Beef cutouts are expected to close mixed with light to moderate box 
movement.
