DTN COMMENTS: A few more bids are now on the table in the South, but they 
remain a couple dollars below current asking prices of around $186-plus. 
Asking prices for cattle left on showlists in the North are around $296-
plus following the last two days of light to moderate business at mostly 
$295, $1 higher than the prior week's weighted averages. Beef cutouts are 
expected to be lower with light to moderate box movement.
