DTN COMMENTS:  A few bids are on the table in parts of Nebraska this 
morning. Asking prices are around $185 to $186 in the South, and $297-
plus in the North. While packer inquiry will continue to improve as the 
day progresses, it is possible that some trade will be delayed until 
sometime Friday. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower with light to 
moderate box movement.
