Although the majority of Southern live business was marked at 128.00, generally $2.00 lower than the previous week. Northern dressed trade had a range of 200.00-206.00, suggesting that the lowest end of this range is due to distant delivery dates. 5-AREA LV STR AVE PR&WT: $129.93(1406) HIDE&OFFAL: $11.80 Unchg CARCASS EQV INDEX CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) #OF AD LIVE BASED 193.49 184.40 102,1767 BOX BASED 202.12 192.00 44,736 AVE INDEX 197.81 -1.55 188.20 -3.04 147,503 BEEF CUTOUTS CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) 214.12 -1.09 204.00 -4.05 72.66 LDS CH CUTS / 28.76 LDS SEL CUTS / 7.79 LDS TRIM / 30.50 LDS GROUND BOXED BEEF TREND: Lr/shply lr on lt-mod dem & mod-hvy offers COMPREHENSIVE WEEKLY CUTOUT VALUE: Week ending 03/24 $216.60 +4.01 CUTTER 90% 350# UP C/O: $171.47 -0.05 NAT'L BONELESS BF TRIM: 14.56 lds / Slghtly lr on lt dem & mod offers 90% TRIM: 00 lds: Wtd Avg $No Test/ Slight to moderately lower *ABCDE AFTER QUOTE REPRESENTS DAYS SINCE LAST REPORTED MARKET TEST*.
