A quiet Friday for direct cash cattle business. While the bulk of the week’s trade has likely wrapped up, a few clean-up deals could still trickle in before the end of the day. Asking prices for what’s left on showlists are around $142 live in the South and $232 dressed in the North. The week’s deals have been at $228 to $230 dressed in the North, $3 to $5 below the previous week’s weighted average basis in Nebraska.
