DTN COMMENTS:  A few live bids are on the table in parts of Kansas, and 
Western Nebraska at midmorning. So far, just a few asking prices have 
been noted in parts of the South at $225, but asking prices in the North 
have not been found as of yet. Beef cutouts are expected to be mixed with 
light to moderate box movement.

NOTE: Feedlots are encouraged to call DTN with any cattle sales, at
1-402-461-3561. All sales will be listed anonymously and organized by 
state. All live sales are FOB and set for 1-9-day delivery. A weekly 
summary from this data will be posted on the Weekly Cattle Sales Reported 
to DTN page and will be left up for the entire week for reference 
purposes.
