BELOW

DTN COMMENTS:  The country remains quiet this afternoon with bids and 
asking prices not established as of yet, significant trade volume will 
likely be delayed until the second half of the week. New showlists appear 
to be mixed, higher in Texas, and Kansas, but lower in Nebraska/Colorado. 

Today's slaughter totaled 118,000 head, 11,000 greater than last week, and 
3,000 more than a year ago. Cattle futures closed sharply lower with all 
contracts closing fully in the red, some feeder contracts limit down (live 
off 250 to 300, feeders off 292 to 450). Beef cutouts are expected to 
close mixed with generally light box movement.
