NEGOTIATED PURCHASES SUMMARIES BELOW

DTN COMMENTS:  Formula totals for last week were mixed, higher in Texas, 
and lower in Kansas and Nebraska: KS 90,932(-2,022), NE 45,879(-4,616), TX 
89,881(+336). Total trade volume was also mixed, higher in Texas, and 
lower in Kansas and Nebraska:  KS 120,143(-1,386), NE 74,921(-2,445), TX 
103,390 (+2,766). New showlists appear to be mixed, somewhat higher in 
Nebraska/ Colorado, lower in Texas, and sharply lower in Kansas. Bids and 
asking prices are not established, and significant trade volume will 
likely be delayed until Tuesday or later. 
 
Beef cutouts are higher at midday (Choice 203.95 +0.69, Select 189.93 
+0.04), with light box movement (24.27 lds of choice cuts, 10.90 lds of 
select cuts, 9.58 lds of trim, and 5.42 lds of ground). Beef cutouts near 
the top of the noon hour are mostly modestly higher on live contracts and 
mixed on feeder issues.
