DTN COMMENTS:  Some bids have been renewed in parts of Nebraska this 
morning, but so far, they are being passed. Asking prices have not been 
fully established at this point. A private source has reported that some 
light business took place late yesterday in parts of the North with 
dressed deals marked at $350 to $355. It will be interesting to see what 
Mandatory reports a little later this morning when summaries are 
released. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower 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.
