DTN MORNING COMMENTS: It will likely be a typically quiet Monday with both
Packers and Producers busy taking inventory and preparing for the week ahead.
Bids and asking prices have yet to be established, and significant trade
volume will likely be delayed until much later in the week. Beef cutouts are
expected to be higher with light box movement.
