DTN COMMENTS:  It is a slow start to the day, following yesterday's light 
trade in parts of the North. So far, only a few bids have been renewed in 
parts of Kansas. Packer inquiries will have to improve as the day 
progresses. Beef cutouts are expected to be mixed with light to moderate 
box movement.

Some light business took place in the North yesterday with dressed deals 
marked at $382 to $384, mostly $383, $5 lower than last week's weighted 
averages. Just a handful of deals were reported in Kansas at $243, but 
not enough to establish an accurate trend for the week.

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.
