USDA MARKET NEWS--AFTERNOON CATTLE REPORT    08/11/26  

DTN COMMENTS:
It was an especially quiet day for the cash cattle market as no trade developed 
and both bids and asking prices remain elusive at this point also. Packer 
interest could improve on Wednesday, but given that packers were able to secure 
over 104,000 head of cattle last week -- it's likely they're going to be less 
aggressive in this week's market.
