DTN COMMENTS:  The country is quiet this morning following a light business 
that took place yesterday. Live deals ranged from $113 to $112, roughly $7 
to $8 lower than last week's weighted averages. A very light scattered 
dressed trade took place at mostly $180, about $9 lower than last week's 
weighted average basis Nebraska. Asking prices today are around $114 to $115 
in the South, and $183 plus in the North. Beef cutouts are expected to be 
lower, with light to moderate box movement.
