DTN COMMENTS: The country is slow to start this morning, asking prices are 
starting out around $118 to $119 on a live basis, and $188 plus dressed. If 
the trend of the last several weeks continues we may see some business 
develop today. Having said that, it is possible that significant trade 
volume may be delayed until Thursday or later. 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
1-800-369-7675, 1-402-399-6402. All sales will be listed anonymously and 
organized by state. All live sales are FOB and set for 1-9 day delivery. 
General trends and summaries from this data will also be posted on the Daily 
Sales Reported to DTN page.
