DTN COMMENTS: The country is slow to start this morning following a light 
trade in mostly the South yesterday at $106, $2 lower than the prior week's 
weighted averages. A few scattered deals were reported in parts of the North 
at $165 to $166, $2.50 to $3.50 lower than last week's weighted average 
basis Nebraska. Asking prices today are around $108 in the South, but none 
have surfaced yet in the North. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower with 
light to moderate box movement.
