DTN COMMENTS:  A light trade is being reported in parts of Kansas at 
$244, $5 lower than last week's weighted averages. A few live deals are 
also being reported in parts of Nebraska. Some bids are now on the table 
in Texas, but so far they are being passed. Packer inquiries will 
continue to improve as the day progresses. Beef cutouts are expected to 
be mixed with light to moderate box movement.

Some light business took place in the North yesterday with dressed deals 
marked at $382 to $384, mostly $383, $5 lower than last week's weighted 
averages. Just a handful of deals were reported in Kansas at $243, but 
not enough to establish an accurate trend for the week.

purposes.
