U.S. Trade (U.S. funds)
U.S. cash cattle trade
The U.S. cash cattle trade last week saw dressed sales in the Northern feeding states from $365.00-$368.00/cwt, $10.00/cwt lower than the previous week. Live sales were reported from $232.00-$233.00/cwt, $4.00/cwt lower. Sales in Texas and Kansas were from $223.00-$225.00/cwt live, $5.00-$6.00/cwt softer. Last weeks cattle processed was estimated at 560,000 head. Processing volumes usually peak in June however that is not the case, as we are looking at some of the smallest processing volumes seen this year. On the feed grain market, the weather premium is coming-out of the market. The December corn contract did set new lows last week.
