DTN COMMENTS:  The country is fairly quiet this morning, so far not even a 
token bid has been found. Asking prices are around $120 in the South, and 
$190 in the North. If the trend of the last couple of weeks is followed, we 
may see some business develop today, but it is possible that significant 
trade volume could be delayed until Thursday or later. 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
1-800-369-7675, ext. 3678. All sales will be listed anonymously and 
organized by state. All live sales are FOB and set for 1-9 day delivery. 
General trends and summaries from this data will also be posted on the Daily 
Sales Reported to DTN page.
