A few early asking prices were noted in parts of the South at $176, but were not established in the North. Significant trade volume will likely be delayed until the second half of the week. 5-AREA LV STR AVG(FOB)PR&WT: $No Test HIDE&OFFAL: $12.89 +0.03 CARCASS EQV INDEX CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) HEAD SUPPLY (Live) $269.21 $251.78 61,533 DEMAND (Box) $295.63 $275.62 39,071 INDEX VALUE $282.42 +0.23 $263.70 -0.56 100,604 BEEF CUTOUTS CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) $307.63 +0.51 $287.62 -1.08 91.15 LDS CH CUTS / 29.10 LDS SEL CUTS / 6.65 LDS TRIM / 14.50 LDS GROUND DAILY CHOICE/SELECT SPREAD $20.01 TOTAL LOAD COUNT 141 COMPREHENSIVE WEEKLY CUTOUT VALUE: Week ending 04/21 $302.05 +7.71 CUTTER 90% 350# UP C/O: $220.99 +3.22 NAT'L BONELESS BF TRIM: 21.56 lds / Shrply hr on gd dem & lt offers 90% TRIM: 10 lds: Wtd Avg: $280.69 / Sharply higher on a light test FI KILL(WTD) TUE 128(252) WK AGO 128(249) YR AGO 126(250) MIX: MON SH98/CB26 WEEKLY CANADIAN CATTLE IMPORTS.
