trade volume totals as: KS 1,020; NE 23,361; TX 699, IA 15,844; CO NA due to
confidentiality. It will be interesting to see just how many Southern formula

20,000 less than a year ago. Saturday's kill was estimated at 4,000 head,

U.S. totaled 50,168, 111.32% of the previous week and 105.70% of the 4-week
average.
DTN MORNING COMMENTS: It will likely be a typically quiet Monday morning with
both packers and producers busy taking inventory and preparing for the week
ahead. Bids and asking prices have yet to be established, and significant
trade volume will likely be delayed until the second half of the week. Beef
cutouts are expected to be lower with light box movement.
