Direct cash cattle markets are at a standstill. Asking prices are $151 to $152 on the live basis in the south with a handful of bids at $238 dressed in the north and widespread business not expected to start until Wednesday or Thursday. There is the possibility of higher prices with some buyers likely to try to get ahead of next week’s slow down for Thanksgiving. This week’s show list looks mixed, larger in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska, smaller in Texas.
