COMMENTS: 
The cash cattle market didn't see much attention throughout Tuesday trade but 
asking prices 
in the South are noted at $165 to $166 and remain unestablished in the North. 
As feedlots 
set out to gain $1.00 or $2.00 this week, no sizeable cash cattle sales will 
likely develop 
ahead of Thursday.
Boxed beef prices closed higher: choice up $0.27 ($280.63) and select up $0.64 
($270.36) 
with a movement of 103.17 loads (59.25 loads of choice, 23.01 loads of select, 
9.90 loads of 
trim and 11.01 loads of ground beef).
