DTN COMMENTS: Another very quiet start to the day in cash cattle country 
with a few asking prices noted around $216-plus in the South, but they 
are still not established in the North. Bids are nowhere to be found this 
morning, and significant trade volume will likely be delayed until 
sometime Thursday or later. 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.
