DTN COMMENTS: Yet another slow start to the day. Bids still remain
elusive. Asking prices are around $186 to $187-plus in the South, and
$300 in the North. Packer inquiry should start to improve over the next
several hours. 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.
