DTN COMMENTS:  A few bids are on the table in Texas this morning, but the 
rest of cattle country is slow to start. Packer inquiry should improve over 
the next couple of hours. Asking prices are around $114 plus in the South 
and $182 to $185 in the North. Beef cutouts are expected to be higher with 
light to moderate box movement.

Sales Reported to DTN page.
