DTN COMMENTS: A few bids are on the table at midmorning, following the 
last two days of light to moderate business. Southern live deals have 
been marked at mostly $182, fully steady with last week's weighted 
averages. While Northern live sales were at mostly $294, generally $2 
higher than the prior week's weighted averages. Asking prices for cattle 
left on showlists are around $184 in Kansas and Texas, and $296-plus in 
Nebraska and Iowa. Beef cutouts are expected to be mixed with light to 
moderate box movement.
