DTN MORNING COMMENTS:  It looks to be a typically quiet Monday morning with 
both packers and producers busy taking head counts and preparing for the week 
ahead. Bids and asking prices are not established. Significant trade volume 
will likely be delayed until much later in the week. Beef cutouts are expected 
to be higher with light box movement.
