It was a typically quiet day for fed cattle trade on Monday. Showlist volumes are 8% larger than last week. Feedlots are generally current, but will continue to look to move cattle as market ready numbers remain ample. Packers continue to add some Saturday shifts to work through local supplies, while cow slaughter the last few weeks have been below a year ago.
