DTN COMMENTS: The country is slow to start this morning, bid are few and far 
between, but packer inquiry should improve as the day progresses. Asking 
prices are around $115 to $116 in the South and $185 plus in the North. A 
light scattered trade took place yesterday with Southern live trade marked 
at $114, fully steady with last week's weighted averages. Northern dressed 
business was at mostly $181, roughly .50 higher than last week's weighted 
average basis Nebraska. Beef cutouts are expected to be mixed with light to 
moderate box movement.
