DTN COMMENTS: A handful of cattle have been sold in Eastern Nebraska this 
morning, at $405 by a Regional. Current bids in that area by a major are 
at $403. Bids are also on the table in parts of Kansas, but so far, they 
are being passed. Significant trade volume may be delayed until Thursday 
and/or Friday. Packer inquiries will likely continue to improve as the 
day progresses. Beef cutouts are expected to be higher with light to 
moderate box movement.

A handful of trade was reported sold in Texas yesterday at $255, but not 
enough to establish an accurate trend for the week. A few bids were noted 
in Kansas at $255, but those were passed. Nebraska and Iowa remained very 
quiet.

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.
