DTN COMMENTS:  Things are slow to start in cattle feeding country this 
morning. So far, even a token bid is hard to find. Asking prices are around 
$145 in the South, but still not established in the North. Having said all 
of that it, packer inquiry will likely improve as the day progresses. Beef 
cutouts are expected to be higher with light to moderate box movement.

NOTE:  Feedlots are encouraged to call DTN with any cattle sales, at
1-800-369-7675, ext. 3678. 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.
