DTN COMMENTS:  A few more bids are on the table at midday. Asking prices are 
around $112 to $115 on a live basis and $185 to $186 dressed. Significant 
trade volume will likely be delayed until Wednesday or later. 

Beef cutouts are mixed at midday (choice 221.79 -0.03, select 203.00 +0.49) 
with light to moderate box movement (29.74 lds of choice cuts, 18.87 lds of 
select cuts, 3.60 lds of trim, and 16.35 lds of ground). Live cattle futures 
are mostly higher, the exceptions being spot June and August which are 
lower. Feeder cattle issues are sharply higher with triple digit gains on 
all contracts at this time.
