DTN COMMENTS:  It is a very slow start to the day with just a few asking 
prices noted around $212-plus in the South, but they are still not 
established in the North. Bids remain very elusive. Significant trade 
volume will likely be delayed until Thursday or later. Beef cutouts are 
expected to be higher with light to moderate box movement.

So far this week, just a handful of deals have been reported, but 
certainly not enough to establish any kind of an accurate trend for the 
week (KS $208, NE $334; IA $330). 

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.
