DTN COMMENTS: All is quiet in cash cattle country this morning, following 
yesterday's business in parts of the South at $182, fully steady with the 
prior week's weighted averages. Some asking prices in that area remain 
firm around $184-plus. Northern bids and asking prices are yet to be 
established, but packer inquiry there should improve as the day 
progresses. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower 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.
