DTN COMMENTS: A light trade is being reported in parts of the South this 
morning at $138, compared to last week's weighted averages, that is steady in 
Texas, but roughly $1 lower in Kansas. Other than a few scattered live bids 
by a Regional the North remains very quiet with asking prices not established 
as of yet. Packer inquiry should continue to improve as the day progresses. 
Beef cutouts are expected to be lower with light to moderate box movement.
