DTN COMMENTS:  A rather slow start to the day in cash cattle country, but 
packer inquiries should improve as the day progresses. So far this 
morning no bids or asking prices have surfaced. Yesterday a very light 
scattered trade was reported in parts of the North with live deals marked 
at $240 (steady with the prior week) and $378 dressed ($1 higher than 
last week's weighted average basis Nebraska).  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.
