DTN COMMENTS:
There have been a few new sales in the cash market, but everything thus far
throughout Fridays trade has kept with the weeks weighted average as packers
are merely doing a little clean up buying. For the most part Northern dressed
cattle have been marked at $370 which is $3.00 higher than last weeks weighted
average, but a few sales have been as high as $372. Southern live cattle have
traded at mostly $235 which is $2.00 higher than last weeks weighted average,
but a few sales in Iowa were marked as high as $238 to $240.



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.
