A few early asking prices were reported in parts of Kansas at $187 to $188. Bids remain very elusive. Significant trade volume will likely be delayed until Wednesday or later. 5-AREA LV STR AVG(FOB)PR&WT: $No Test HIDE&OFFAL: $12.81 +0.09 CARCASS EQV INDEX CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) HEAD SUPPLY (Live) $278.12 $253.47 53,702 DEMAND (Box) $293.18 $267.50 46,889 INDEX VALUE $285.65 -2.15 $260.49 -0.79 100,591 BEEF CUTOUTS CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) $305.18 -4.10 $279.50 -1.39 80.97 LDS CH CUTS / 30.43 LDS SEL CUTS / 10.42 LDS TRIM / 18.22 LDS GROUND DAILY CHOICE/SELECT SPREAD $25.68 TOTAL LOAD COUNT 140 COMPREHENSIVE WEEKLY CUTOUT VALUE: Week ending 10/27 $301.00 +2.38 CUTTER 90% 350# UP C/O: $229.79 -0.29 NAT'L BONELESS BF TRIM: 18.85 lds / Unevenly steady on mod dem & offers 90% TRIM: 00 lds: Wtd Avg: $No Test/ Not fully established FI KILL(WTD) TUE 125(250) WK AGO 126(251) YR AGO 129(255) MIX: MON SH99/CB26 WEEKLY CANADIAN CATTLE IMPORTS.
