DTN COMMENTS: Although it's still early in the week, some light
trade has already begun to develop in the South as live
cattle are trading at mostly $218 but some have sold at $220,
which is steady to $2.00 higher than last week's weighted
average as both regional and major packers are actively
bidding. No trade has developed in the North yet and asking
prices remain elusive there still. Asking prices for cattle
in the South remain firm at $221 plus.
Boxed beef trade is higher, Choice up $0.60 at $344.17 and
Select up $5.51 at $333.58 on 57.80 loads of choice cuts;
7.45 loads of select cuts; 4.23 loads of trim; 6.85 loads of
ground beef.
