Some live deals have been reported in parts of the South at $209 to $210, steady to $1 lower than last week's weighted averages. Many continue to hold out for higher money. Today's slaughter totaled 107,000 head, 7,000 more than last week, and 10,000 greater than a year ago. Saturday's kill is estimated at 17,000 head, bringing the weekly total to 609,000 head, 49,000 over the previous week, and 27,000 above 2024.
