DTN COMMENTS: It is looking as if business is essentially done for the
week. It has been very light, especially in the South. Asking prices for
cattle left on showlists are around $193 to $194 in the South and around
$307-plus in the North. This week Northern dressed business has had a
huge range of $302 to $315, but mostly at $305, $2 higher than last
week's weighted average basis Nebraska. While Southern live deals have
been marked at $191, fully steady with last week's weighted averages.
Today's slaughter totaled 117,000 head, 2,000 more than last week, but
1,000 less than a year ago. Saturday's kill is estimated at 15,000 head,
bringing the weekly total to 617,000 head, 8,000 greater than the prior
week, but 4,000 below 2023. Cattle futures closed moderately to sharply
higher on live contracts, up 62 to 185 and sharply higher on feeder
issues, up 107 to 142. Beef cutouts are expected to close lower with
light to moderate box movement.
