DTN COMMENTS:  A few more bids are now on the table in parts of Eastern 
Nebraska, and Western Iowa but so far, those bids are being passed. In the 
last two days we have seen light movement, with Southern live sales marked 
at $260, $3 higher than last week's weighted averages, Northern dressed 
deals have been at $400, $2 to $3 lower than last week's weighted 
averages. These trade volume totals are rather light, more trade will need 
to take place at some point this week. 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.
