DTN COMMENTS: The country is very quiet this afternoon with just a few
bids being renewed. Yesterday saw Northern dressed deals marked at $332
to $335, $4 to $7 higher than last week's weighted averages. Southern
live transactions were marked at mostly $210, $6 higher than last week's
weighted averages. It looks like business is essentially done for the
week.
Today's slaughter totaled 89,000 head, 7,000 below last week, and 22,000
less than a year ago. Saturday's kill is estimated at 10,000 head,
bringing the weekly total to 576,000 head, 12,000 more than the previous
week, but 42,000 under 2024. The CME is closed today for the Good Friday
holiday, so cattle futures will not be available. Beef cutouts are
expected to close mixed with light to moderate box movement.
