A quiet Friday for direct cash cattle trade activity. The bulk of the week’s trade has wrapped up. Asking prices for cattle left on showlists are around $124 live and $198 dressed in the North. Dressed deals in the North had a wide range – from $193 to $198, mostly $198, which is $1 lower than last week’s weighted average basis in Nebraska. Live deals in the South were at $123 to $124, generally steady with the prior week’s business.
