DTN COMMENTS:
Some light cash cattle trade has been noted in Nebraska at $350, which is fully 
steady with last week's weighted average. There's yet to be any trade noted in 
the South, but bids are currently on the table in Kansas at $220.

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.
