DTN COMMENTS:   Formula totals for last week were mixed, larger in Nebraska, 
but smaller in Kansas and Texas: KS 69,024(-5,599), NE 56,751(+4,975), TX 
88,848(-3,474). Total trade volume was also mixed, about steady in Texas, 
somewhat lower in Kansas and lower in Nebraska: KS 87,140(-4,562), NE 90,375
(-11,025), TX 96,837(+683). New showlists appear to be mixed, larger in 
Nebraska, about steady in Texas and Colorado, but lower in Kansas. Bids and 
asking prices have yet to be established. Significant trade volume will 
likely be delayed until the second half of the week.

Beef cutouts are mixed at midday (Choice 204.19 +1.48, Select 191.67 -
0.61), with very light box movement (33.36 lds of choice cuts, 12.41 lds 
of select cuts, 0.00 lds of trim, and 5.22 lds of ground). Cattle futures 
near midday are mixed on live contracts with nearbys doing better than 
deferreds, while feeder issues are lower.
