The market expects to see some more trade on Wednesday, and it's likely that prices trend steady with what cattle have sold for already this week. 5-AREA LV STR AVG(FOB)PR&WT: $135.00(1517) HIDE&OFFAL: $13.72 -0.29 CARCASS EQV INDEX CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) #OF HD LIVE BASED $201.21 $186.10 39,493 BOX BASED $249.39 $237.92 47,332 AVE INDEX $225.30 -0.39 $212.01 -0.27 86,825 BEEF CUTOUTS CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) $261.39 -0.99 $249.92 -0.75 77.16 LDS CH CUTS / 20.93 LDS SEL CUTS / 6.05 LDS TRIM / 11.61 LDS GROUND DAILY CHOICE/SELECT SPREAD $11.47 TOTAL LOAD COUNT 116 COMPREHENSIVE WEEKLY CUTOUT VALUE: Week ending 12/17 $268.28 -3.09 CUTTER 90% 350# UP C/O: $227.46 +1.25 NAT'L BONELESS BF TRIM: 15.44 lds / Shrply hr on good dem & lt offers 90% TRIM: 08 lds: Wtd Avg $273.83 / Shrply lower FI KILL(WTD) Tues 120(240) WK AGO 122(244) YR AGO 119(236) MIX: MON SH93/CB27 WEEKLY CANADIAN CATTLE IMPORTS.
