DTN COMMENTS:  Cash cattle country is very quiet this morning, with early 
Southern asking prices starting out around $223 to $225, but they are not 
established in the North. Bids remain very elusive at this point, and 
significant trade volume will likely be delayed until Wednesday or later. 
Beef cutouts are expected to be higher 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.
