It’s a quiet start to the day for direct cash cattle business following the light trade that took place on Tuesday. Deal in Kansas and Texas were marked at $143, fully steady with last week’s business. It appears some Southern producers are still holding for higher money. Asking prices are at $144 to $145 live, while the North has yet to float dressed asking prices. Bids have yet to surface. More business is expected to pick up over the balance of the week.
