Direct cash cattle trade activity is quiet for this Friday. And while there is a small possibility of a little clean-up trade today, it’s likely the bulk of the week’s business is finished. Deals this week have been around $135 to $138 live in the South, mostly $136 to $137, steady to $1 lower than last week’s weighted averages. Northern dressed deals have been marked at $217 to $218, mostly $218, fully steady with last week’s weighted averages basis in Nebraska.
