DTN COMMENTS:  A few live bids are on the table in Kansas and Nebraska 
this morning, asking prices are around $240 in the South, but are still 
not fully established in the North. Significant trade volume will 
possibly be delayed until Wednesday or later. Beef cutouts are expected 
to be higher with light to moderate box movement.

A light trade was reported by Mandatory in the North yesterday with 
dressed deals showing a rather wide range of $355 to $360. The South was 
very quiet.

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.
