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

DTN COMMENTS:  The country is typically quiet this Monday afternoon with 
bids and asking prices yet to be established. Significant trade volume 
will likely be delayed until the second half of the week. New showlists 
appear to be mixed, somewhat higher in Kansas, higher in 
Nebraska/Colorado, but lower in Texas. 

Today's slaughter totaled 124,000 head, 5,000 more than last week, and 
6,000 greater than a year ago. Live cattle futures closed mostly 
moderately to sharply lower, off 25 to 107, while feeder issues ended the 
day mostly lower off 87 to up 30 (only the spot August feeder contract 
ended the day in the green). Beef cutouts are expected to close higher 
with moderate to good box movement.
