DTN COMMENTS:  Another slow start to the morning in cash cattle country, 
with bids and asking prices still not established. Significant trade 
volume will likely be delayed until Thursday and/or Friday. Beef cutouts 
are expected to be higher with light to moderate box movement.

So far this week, only a handful of trade here and there has been 
reported ($255/$400), but certainly not enough to establish an accurate 
trend for the week. 

NOTE: Feedlots are encouraged to call DTN with any cattle sales, at

purposes.
