DTN COMMENTS:  All is quiet in cash cattle country this morning with some 
asking prices starting out around $185-plus in parts of the South, but 
they are still not established in the North. Bids remain very elusive at 
this point. Significant trade volume will likely be delayed for another 
day or two. Beef cutouts are expected to be higher 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.
