DTN MORNING COMMENTS: It looks to be a typical Monday morning with both 
packers and producers busy taking inventory and preparing for the week ahead. 
Bids and asking prices are not established, and significant trade volume will 
likely be delayed until much later in the week. Beef cutouts are expected to 
be mixed with light box movement.
