DTN COMMENTS:  All is quiet in the country again this morning, some 
asking prices are around $186 to $187-plus in the South, but still not 
established in the North. Bids remain very elusive. While packer 
inquiries may improve as the day progresses, it is very possible that 
significant trade volume may be delayed until Friday. 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.
