DTN COMMENTS:  Cash cattle country is off to a slow start this morning 
following a light trade in Kansas and Texas yesterday ($218 to $220, 
steady to $2 higher than last week's weighted averages). Asking prices 
are around $220-plus in the South, but still not established in the 
North. 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.
