DTN COMMENTS: A light trade is developing in parts of the North at $192, $4 
lower than last week's weighted average basis Nebraska. Most of this 
business is set for delayed delivery (week of 5/10/2021). A few deals have 
also been reported in Colorado at $121, $1.50 lower than last weeks weighted 
average. Asking prices are around $121 to $122 in the South and $196 plus in 
the North. A light mostly live trade took place yesterday at $119 to $120 in 
the South, and $121 to $124 in the North.

Beef cutouts at midday are higher (choice 281.39 +0.93, select 274.79 +2.91) 
with light to moderate box movement (33.94 lds of choice cuts, 14.65 lds of 
select cuts, 5.21 lds of trim, and 9.04 lds of ground). Cattle futures near 
the top of the noon hour are mostly sharply lower on both live and feeder 
contracts.
