DTN COMMENTS:
The fed cash cattle market has seen some interest develop, as currently, bids 
of $345 to $348 are being offered in Nebraska. But otherwise, the markets 
remain quiet with no other bids being offered. Asking prices remain 
unestablished, and although bids are on the table in Nebraska -- with feedlot 
managers desiring to see the market trade higher again this week -- it's likely 
that trade will be delayed until later in the week.

NOTE: Feedlots are encouraged to email DTN with any cattle sales at
ShayLe.Stewart@dtn.com. All sales will be listed anonymously and organized by
state. All live sales are FOB and set for 1-9-day delivery. A weekly summary
from this data will be posted on the Weekly Cattle Sales Reported to DTN page
and will be left up for the entire week for reference purposes.
