DTN COMMENTS:  All is quiet in the country at midday following light to 
moderate trading on Wednesday and Thursday. The bulk of business is 
essentially done for the week, although a little cleanup here and there is 
not out of the question today. Asking prices for cattle left on showlists are 
around $140 in the South, and $236-plus in the North. 

This week Southern live business was marked at mostly $138, steady to 
roughly $1 lower than last week's weighted averages. Northern dressed deals 
were marked at mostly $234, not quite $1 lower than last week's weighted 
average. Colorado's live sales were at $145, about steady with last week's 
weighted average.

Beef cutouts are mixed at midday (choice 263.53 -0.47, select 240.60 +0.03) 
with moderate box movement (41.58 lds of choice cuts, 18.13 lds of select 
cuts, 5.41 lds of trim, and 5.51 lds of ground). Live cattle futures near 
the top of the noon hour are moderately to sharply higher, while feeder 
issues are sharply higher.
