DTN COMMENTS: It is a very quiet start to the day in cash cattle country. 
Asking prices are around $224 to $225 in the South, but not established 
in the North. Bids are hard to find this morning. Significant trade 
volume will probably be delayed until Thursday and/or Friday, having said 
all of that, it is possible that packer interest may start to surface at 
some point today. 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.
