DTN COMMENTS: All is quiet in cash cattle country this morning, following 
yesterday's light trade. Asking prices are around $232-plus in the South, 
and $382-plus in the North. So far, no bids have been renewed this 
morning. More business will likely take place at some point today. Beef 
cutouts are expected to be mixed with light to moderate box movement.

This week Northern dressed transactions have been marked at mostly $380, 
about $1 higher than last week's weighted averages. Southern live deals 
were done at mostly $230, steady to $1 higher than the previous week's 
weighted averages.
