DTN COMMENTS:  Another slow start to the day in cash cattle country. 
Asking prices are around $243-plus in the South, but they are still not 
established in the North. Bids are very elusive at this point, but packer 
inquiry should start to improve as the day progresses. Having said all of 
that it is very possible that significant trade volume will be delayed 
until sometime Friday. Beef cutouts are expected to be mixed 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

to DTN page and will be left up for the entire week for reference 
purposes.
