DTN COMMENTS:  The country is slow to start this morning following 
yesterday's light to moderate business, mostly in the South at $182, $1 
lower than last week's weighted averages. Some isolated live business was 
also reported in parts of Western Nebraska at $183, $1 lower than last 
week's weighted average. No significant dressed deals were reported in the 
North yesterday. Asking prices are around $183-plus in the South, and 
$290-plus in the North. 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.
