Asking prices haven't been stated, but it's likely that the Southern plains price cattle is at $138 or better. Trade could begin to develop as early as Tuesday as it's a shortened holiday week. 5-AREA LV STR AVG(FOB)PR&WT: $137.24(1531) HIDE&OFFAL: $14.01 unchgd CARCASS EQV INDEX CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) #OF HD LIVE BASED $200.99 $185.88 36,530 BOX BASED $250.38 $238.67 49,600 AVE INDEX $225.69 -0.40 $212.28 +1.24 86,130 BEEF CUTOUTS CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) $262.38 -0.63 $250.67 +2.39 57.80 LDS CH CUTS / 21.16 LDS SEL CUTS / 7.72 LDS TRIM / 7.56 LDS GROUND DAILY CHOICE/SELECT SPREAD $11.71 TOTAL LOAD COUNT 94 COMPREHENSIVE WEEKLY CUTOUT VALUE: Week ending 12/17 $268.28 -3.09 CUTTER 90% 350# UP C/O: $228,71 +1.26 NAT'L BONELESS BF TRIM: 25.16 lds / Shrply lwr on lgt dem & moder offers 90% TRIM: 06 lds: Wtd Avg $276.33 / Firm to higher FI KILL(WTD) MON 120 WK AGO 122 YR AGO 117 MIX: FRI SH92/CB28 SAT SH46/CB 12 WEEKLY CANADIAN CATTLE IMPORTS.
