DTN COMMENTS:
The cash cattle market remains quiet heading into Wednesday's noon hour, with 
still no trade having developed. There are currently bids of $223 live and $350 
dressed being offered in Nebraska, but with the board trading higher, it's 
likely that feedlot managers will elect to allow some time to pass in hopes 
that interest could drive prices even higher. Asking prices remain 
unestablished still. 

NOTE: Feedlots are encouraged to email DTN with any cattle sales at
ShayLe.Stewart@dtn.com. 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.
