DTN COMMENTS:  All is quiet in cattle country this morning, so far, no 
bids have been renewed and asking prices have yet to be fully 
established. A private source has reported that some light business took 
place late yesterday in parts of the North with dressed deals marked at 
$350 to $355. It will be interesting to see what Mandatory reports a 
little later this morning when summaries are released. 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.
