DTN COMMENTS:  The country is quiet this morning with the bulk of business 
done for the week. Having said that, a little cleanup here and there is 
possible. Asking prices for cattle left on showlists are around $165 in the 
South, and $266-plus in the North. Beef cutouts are expected to be mixed 
with light to moderate box movement.

So far this week, Northern dressed deals have been marked at mostly $264 to 
%265, steady to $1 higher than last week's weighted averages. Southern live 
sales were listed at mostly $163, $1 lower than last week's weighted 
averages.
