DTN COMMENTS:  The country is very slow to start this morning, with just a 
few scattered asking prices starting out around $126 plus in the South, but 
not established in the North. Significant trade volume will likely be 
delayed until Wednesday or later. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower with 
light to moderate box movement.

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. 
General trends and summaries from this data will also be posted on the Daily 
Sales Reported to DTN page.
