DTN COMMENTS:  The country is quiet this morning following light to moderate 
trading on Wednesday and Thursday. The bulk of business is essentially done 
for the week, although a little cleanup here and there is not out of the 
question today. Asking prices for cattle left on showlists are around $140 in 
the South, and $236-plus in the North. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower 
with light to moderate box movement.

This week Southern live business was marked at mostly $138, steady to 
roughly $1 lower than last week's weighted averages. Northern dressed deals 
were marked at mostly $234, not quite $1 lower than last week's weighted 
average. Colorado's live sales were at $145, about steady with last week's 
weighted average.

NOTE:  Feedlots are encouraged to call DTN with any cattle sales, at
1-800-369-7675, ext. 3678. 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.
