Another relatively quiet start for direct cash cattle business. Prices will likely push higher again as supplies are expected to tighten. A few bids have surfaced in the North at $242 to $245 dressed, however, the rest of cattle country has been quiet. Asking prices in the South are at $154 to $155 live, with nothing coming out of the North. Business is expected to kick off at some point today, but significant trade volume will likely take place on Wednesday.
