DTN COMMENTS:  Yet another very slow start to the day in cash cattle 
country with bids remaining very elusive, and only a few asking prices 
have been noted in parts of the South at $186 to $187. While packer 
inquiries should start to improve as the day progresses, it is very 
possible that significant trade volume could be delayed for one more day. 
Beef cutouts are expected to be lower with light to moderate box 
movement.
