DTN COMMENTS: It is a slow start to the morning following yesterday's 
light business. Live trade in the South was generally $171, $3 lower than 
last week's weighted averages. Northern dressed sales were reported at 
mostly $271, $4 lower than the prior week's weighted average. Yesterday's 
Mandatory totals looked somewhat light, so we may see some more deals 
today and/or tomorrow.  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 
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.
