Cash trade kicked off on Thursday with a steady/higher note this week, as the South was at $182 in TX and $182-183 in KS, even to $1 above a week ago. Northern trade was reported at $184-185, $1-2 higher on the week. Bids this morning are reportedly being picked up around $184 in the South and $185-186 in the North. Feeders are posting $1.60 to $3.00 gains. The CME Feeder Cattle index was back up $2.51 on April 24 to $245.15. 

USDA’s Wholesale Boxed Beef prices were mixed again in the Friday morning report. Choice boxes were $1.50 higher to $298.42, with Select down $1.19 at $288.47. That took the Chc/Sel spread up to $9.95, as the seasonal widening kicks in. USDA estimated cattle slaughter at 125,000 head for Thursday, taking this week’s total to 488,000 head.
