Just a few early asking prices were noted in parts of the South around $195, but they have not been established in the North. Bids remain very elusive. Significant trade volume will be delayed until after the New Year. 5-AREA LV STR AVG(NEG)PR&WT: $192.00(1430) HIDE&OFFAL: $11.30 Unchg CARCASS EQV INDEX CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) HEAD SUPPLY (Live) $295.83 $265.15 36,438 DEMAND (Box) $312.22 $282.52 45,794 INDEX VALUE $304.02 -0.52 $273.84 -0.06 82,323 BEEF CUTOUTS CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) $324.22 -1.15 $294.52 -0.24 64.63 LDS CH CUTS / 33.48 LDS SEL CUTS / 7.24 LDS TRIM / 13.45 LDS GROUND DAILY CHOICE/SELECT SPREAD $29.70 TOTAL LOAD COUNT 119 COMPREHENSIVE WEEKLY CUTOUT VALUE: Week ending 12/27 $316.19 +5.79 CUTTER 90% 350# UP C/O: $256.36 -2.06 NAT'L BONELESS BF TRIM: 19.58 lds / Mod/shrply hr on gd dem & lt-mod offers 90% TRIM: 12 lds: Wtd Avg: $319.37 / Moderately to sharply higher FI KILL(WTD) TUE 102(225) WK AGO 38(156) YR AGO 122(122) **Prev.
