Some more cash cattle trade will likely develop ahead of the week's end, but the week's prices are likely set. The big-ticket item to watch for on Friday will be the Cattle Inventory report, which will likely showcase another decline in the U.S. beef cow herd. 5-AREA LV STR AVG(NEG)PR&WT: $210.10 (1551) HIDE&OFFAL: $11.53 Unchgd CARCASS EQV INDEX CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) HEAD SUPPLY (Live) $317.20 $299.96 62,621 DEMAND (Box) $315.48 $303.90 51,710 INDEX VALUE $316.34 -1.41 $301.93 -2.27 114,331 BEEF CUTOUTS CHOICE (600-900#) SELECT (600-900#) $327.48 -3.06 $315.90 -4.77 89.92 LDS CH CUTS / 26.40 LDS SEL CUTS / 12.54 LDS TRIM / 9.58 LDS GROUND DAILY CHOICE/SELECT SPREAD $11.58 TOTAL LOAD COUNT 138 COMPREHENSIVE WEEKLY CUTOUT VALUE: Week ending 01/24 $331.85 +1.48 CUTTER 90% 350# UP C/O: $285.48 -0.06 NAT'L BONELESS BF TRIM: 25.77 lds / unevenly stdy; mod demand/offers 90% TRIM: 5 lds: Wtd Avg: $367.78 / Generally steady FI KILL(WTD) THUR 122(484) WK AGO 123(486) YR AGO 126(501) *PREVIOUS DAY BREAKDOWN: TUE SH 100/ CB24* WEEKLY CANADIAN CATTLE IMPORTS.
