DTN COMMENTS: Packer inquiry is improving this morning with a few bids 
noted.  Asking prices remain somewhat uncertain given the sharp break in 
futures yesterday, but it is fairly safe to say that fully steady money 
(97/153) with last week would probably move some cattle. Having said that, 
asking prices are generally around 100 in the South, and 156 in the North. 
Beef cutouts are expected to be lower, with light to moderate box movement.
