DTN COMMENTS: Yet another quiet start in the country this morning. Bids 
and asking prices are not established as of yet, but given how strong the 
box beef levels have been so far this week, when we get a glimpse of 
those asking prices, they should be quite a bit higher than we've seen 
for the last several weeks. 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
1-402-461-3561. 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.
