DTN COMMENTS: A slow start in cash cattle country this morning with some
asking prices starting out around $186-plus in the South, and $296-plus
in the North, (but a good many Northern cattle are not priced as of yet).
Some light trade took place yesterday in Kansas at $185, and a handful of
dress sales were reported at $298 in Nebraska, but certainly not enough
to call it an accurate trend for the week. Packer inquiry will improve as
the day progresses. 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.
