DTN MORNING COMMENTS: It will likely be a typically quiet Monday morning with
both packers and producers 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 higher with light box movement.
