DTN COMMENTS:  Another slow start to the day in cattle feeding country. 
So far, no bids or asking prices have been renewed. A light dressed trade 
developed in parts of Nebraska yesterday afternoon by a major at $380, 
$12 lower than the prior week's weighted averages. In Iowa dressed sales 
were reported at $385, $6 lower than last week's weighted averages. Just 
where weighted averages fall in these areas this week is anybody's guess. 
The South remained very quiet, no bids or asking prices noted there 
yesterday. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower on light to moderate box 
movement. 

NOTE: Feedlots are encouraged to email DTN with any cattle sales, at
linda.nellson@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.
