DTN MORNING COMMENTS: It will likely be a typically quiet Monday morning with
packers and producers busy taking inventory. Bids and asking prices have yet
to be established, and significant trade volume will likely be delayed until
Wednesday or later. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower with light box
movement.
