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

DTN COMMENT:  
New showlists are higher in Texas, Kansas and mostly steady in 
Nebraska/Colorado.
Last week Southern live cattle traded at mostly $240 to $245, but mostly 
at $242 to $245 which is $3.00 to $6.00 higher than the previous week's 
weighted average. Northern dressed cattle traded at mostly $378 which is 
$1.00 higher than the previous week's weighted average. 

Bids and asking prices have yet to be established, and significant trade volume 
will likely be delayed until the second half of the week.

Beef cutouts are higher at midday (Choice 369.61 up 0.28; Select 366.59 up 
2.06). Loads: 14.77 choice cuts; 2.95 select cuts; 0.00 trimmings; 5.06 ground 
beef.
