This early trade is not necessarily setting the trend for the week. The South remained very quiet. If the trend of the last several week's continues significant trade volume will be delayed until Thursday or Friday. 5-AREA LV STR AVG(FOB)PR&WT: $159.00(1575) HIDE&OFFAL: $13.29 +0.17 CARCASS EQV INDEX CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) HEAD ***NOTE THAT THE USDA REVISED THE FOLLOWING REPORT** *** REVISIONS ARE MARKED WITH AN (^) *** SUPPLY (Live) $242.28^ $226.18^ 67,125 DEMAND (Box) $275.20 $258.84 34,772 INDEX VALUE $258.74^ +3.42^ $242.51^ +2.67^ 101,897 BEEF CUTOUTS CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) $287.20 +4.31 $270.84 +2.79 69.31 LDS CH CUTS / 21.57 LDS SEL CUTS / 9.30 LDS TRIM / 13.95 LDS GROUND DAILY CHOICE/SELECT SPREAD $16.36 TOTAL LOAD COUNT 114 COMPREHENSIVE WEEKLY CUTOUT VALUE: Week ending 02/17 $272.72 +5.07 CUTTER 90% 350# UP C/O: $205.39 +0.90 NAT'L BONELESS BF TRIM: 22.75 lds / Unevenly steady on light to moderate dem & offer 90% TRIM: 06 lds: Wtd Avg: $259.44 / Generally steady FI KILL(WTD) TUE 127(231) WK AGO 125(251) YR AGO 125(235) MIX: MON SH78/CB26 WEEKLY CANADIAN CATTLE IMPORTS.
