DTN COMMENTS:  Some bids are now being reported in parts of the South, 
but they are several dollars below current asking prices of $238 to $240. 
So far this morning, the North remains rather quiet with bids and asking 
prices not renewed as of yet. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower with 
light to moderate box movement.

Yesterday a light trade was reported in parts of the North with dressed 
deals marked at $370 to mostly $372, fully steady with the prior week's 
weighted average, basis Nebraska. Just a handful of trade was reported by 
Mandatory in the South, certainly not enough to establish an accurate 
trend for the week.
