Packer inquiry should start to improve over the next several hours. Asking prices are around 120.00-122.00 in the South, and 190.00 plus in the North. Beef cutouts are expected to be higher with light to moderate box movement. NOTE: Feedlots are encouraged to call DTN with any cattle sales, at 1-800-369-7675, 1-402-399-6402, or 1-402-462-8897.
