DTN COMMENTS:
Packers must be short bought headed into this new week as bids have already
surfaced in Kansas at $233. Asking prices are not yet established, but its
assumed that prices will be steady if not higher again this week.
New showlists are mixed this week as showlists are lighter in Texas and Kansas,
but larger in Nebraska and Colorado. Last week Southern live cattle traded
from $231 to $233, which is $1.00 to $3.00 higher than the previous week's
weighted average. Northern dressed cattle traded at from $365 to $368, which
is steady to $3.00 higher.
NOTE: Feedlots are encouraged to email DTN with any cattle sales at
