DTN COMMENTS: A few early bids are on the table at midday, but so far 
they are being passed. Asking prices remain rather elusive at this point, 
and significant trade volume will likely be delayed until Wednesday or 
later. 

Beef cutouts are lower at midday (choice 389.18 -0.38, select 387.29 -
1.31) with light to moderate box movement (38.43 lds of choice cuts, 4.05 
lds of select cuts, 0.00 lds of trim, and 9.93 lds of ground).

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.
