DTN COMMENTS: The country is slow to start today following active live trade 
in Texas yesterday all at 124.00, $1.00 lower than the previous week. A 
lighter trade developed in Kansas also at 124.00, but estimates are varying 
on just how many head was moved there. The North remained very quiet. Today 
asking prices are around 125-126 in the South, and 203+ in the North. Beef 
cutouts are expected to be mixed on light to moderate box movement.
