DTN COMMENTS: Another very slow start in cash cattle country this
morning. Asking prices are around $208 in the South, but still not
established in the North. Bids remain very elusive at this point.
Significant trade volume will likely be delayed until Thursday or later.
Beef cutouts are expected to be lower at midday 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.
