DTN COMMENTS:  
Bids are still nonexistent throughout the countryside and it's unlikely any 
worthy interest will develop until after the Fed Cattle Exchange. Asking 
prices in the South are $116 and the North has yet to share their asking 
prices. 
Boxed beef prices are lower: choice down $2.07 ($236.96) and select down 
$1.10 ($226.54) with a movement of 66 loads (40.38 loads of choice, 12.69 
loads of select, 4.13 loads of trim and 8.94 loads of ground beef).
