DTN COMMENT:  Formula totals for last week were mixed higher in Nebraska and 
Texas, but lower in Kansas: KS 77,179(-116), NE 58,864(+6,816), TX 77,127 
(+7,887). Total trade volume was also mixed, higher in Nebraska and Texas, 
but lower in Kansas:  KS 86,888(-1,132), NE 87,801(+13,558), TX 
78,679(+6,547). New showlists appear to be mixed higher in Kansas, but lower 
in Texas and Nebraska/Colorado. Bids and asking prices have yet to be 
established, and significant trade volume will likely be delayed until the 
second half of the week.

Note that weekly weighted average prices set new record highs for the third 
week in a row. Live prices: TX 201.00(200.10); KS 200.88(200.80) NE 
203.76(203.08); IA 204.66(203.06). Dressed prices: NE 322.20(320.22); IA 
321.25 (320.23); KS 322.00 (315.01). The previous record high is listed in 
parentheses. 

Beef cutouts are lower at midday (Choice 332.09 -1.60, Select 318.81 -1.02), 
with light box movement (25.74 lds of choice cuts, 6.89 lds of select cuts, 
0.00 lds of trim, and 7.38 lds of ground). Cattle futures are not available 
due to the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal holiday.
