Direct cash cattle trade activity is off to its typically quiet start to the week. Bids and asking prices have yet to surface. It’s likely significant trade volume is going to hold out until midweek or later. There was a light to moderate trade that took place on Thursday, with a little cleanup business on Friday. Dressed business in the North had a wide range from $298 to $310, mostly $302, which was $4 higher than the previous week’s weighted averages.
