Vaclavik ... "We had a cattle on feed report from the USDA this past Friday and what they told us is that the placements were much larger than expected at 116% of last year. The trade had only expected about a 6% increase so overall that was seen as very, very negative. We saw a limit down-trade on Monday in both the live cattle and feeder cattle markets. The boxed beef market seems to have stabilized a little bit, but this was after a multi-week collapse where we went from north of $250 in choice boxes down to south of $210. So, that market has collapsed, but may have found some footing this week. We'll see if we can hold that up into midweek."
