DTN COMMENTS: All is quiet in cash cattle country this morning, with
bids and asking prices not established as of yet. Significant trade
volume will likely be delayed until the second half of the week. So far
this week less than 100 head has been reported sold by Mandatory in parts
of Iowa at $236/$368, certainly not enough to establish any kind of trend
for the week. 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.
