DTN MORNING COMMENTS: It will likely be a typically quiet Monday morning with 
both buyers and sellers busy taking inventory and preparing for the week 
ahead. Bids and asking prices have not been established, and significant 
trade volume will likely be delayed until well into the second half of the 
week. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower with light box movement.
