A quiet start to the day for direct cash cattle trade activity following the moderate to active trade that took place on Wednesday. Asking prices for cattle left on showlists are around $126 to $127 live in the South and $201 plus dressed in the North. It’s likely the bulk of the week’s business has wrapped up, but there could be some cleanup trade trickle in today and Friday. Southern live deals this week have been marked at $124 to $126, steady to $2 higher than last week’s weighted averages.
