Direct cash cattle markets are quiet. The day’s big feature should just be the distribution of this week’s show list. Bids and asking prices are not defined and it looks like widespread trade will wait until the back half of the week. Last week’s business was light to moderate, mainly at $172 on the live basis in the south, $1 higher than the previous week’s weighted average, and mostly $272 to $273 dressed, up $2 to $3.
