Boxed Beef and Finished Cattle Prices Down Again Last Week - Audio with Ed Czerwien, USDA Market News Office, Amarillo, Texas

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:11:33 CDT

   
In this week's beef report, according to Ed Czerwien, USDA Market News Office in Amarillo, Texas, said we saw the choice cut market end the week of March 30 down once again. Choice ended the week at $183.37 cwt, down about $4.00 from the previous Friday. The total load volume was also lower last week, indicating retailers are a little reluctant right now to buy too far ahead.

As far as the finished cattle trade last week, the trend was a dollar lower with business in the Southern Plains mostly at the $125 cwt mark. Business was mostly $202 cwt in the meat.

The average live weight of the cattle harvest from the Texas Panhandle was 1,026 pounds, down about 16 pounds from the previous week.
