DTN COMMENTS: 
Midday beef cutouts: Choice $364.51, -1.35; Select $345.27, +1.75. Bids 
are beginning to surface again in the fed cash cattle market 
as packers seek to acquire more inventory. Asking prices have 
been noted at $234 to $235 in the South but are not fully 
established yet in the North. However, given that bids are a 
couple dollars above asking prices, we could see more trade 
develop any moment.
