USDA MARKET NEWS--AFTERNOON CATTLE REPORT    08/03/26

DTN COMMENTS: The cash cattle market was quiet throughout the day, with a 
single bid of $233 being offered in Kansas, but otherwise no business having 
developed. New showlists are mixed this week as showlists are lighter in Texas 
and Kansas, but larger in Nebraska and Colorado. Trade will likely be delayed 
until the later part of the week.
